The spotlight can burn like any flame. Tom Buckner watches as his friends--his brothers of The Forest--move on with their lives. All of a sudden, he doesn't quite fit in with them anymore. Jessica Andrews is a news anchor who's just landed her biggest break: tell the story of the Shifters, starting with the members of The Forest. She's supposed to be an impartial source, but Jess knows what her boss wants--drama, and lots of it. Jess convinces Tom to take her out--off the record--and, to both of their surprise, they find themselves hitting it off. But Tom knows what a relationship with Jess would do to his already strained situation at the station, and Jess knows to do her job, and do it well, means betraying Tom. Jess interviews Tom for her special, and all seems to go well, with the two of them getting closer than ever. Then the special airs, and Tom sees how Jess cut his answers and made the Shifters appear deranged and dangerous. But as much as he wants to hate her, he can't. He knows she did it for the job, a job she loves more than anything. But Jess is overcome with guilt over it, and as much as Tom tries not to think about her, she tries even harder not to think about him. But she can't do it...

A blazingly honest essay collection from a refreshing new voice exploring the in-between moments for Black women and girls, and what it means to simply exist “At thirty-seven years old I can say Shenequa is a big name and I’m a big, bold woman.” Shenequa Golding doesn’t aim to speak for all Black women. We’re too vast, too vibrant, and too complicated. As an adult, Golding begins to own her boldness, but growing up, she found herself “kind of in the middle,” fluctuating between not being the fly kid or the overachiever. Her debut collection of essays, A Black Girl in the Middle taps into life’s wins and losses, representing the middle ground for Black girls and women. Golding packs humor, curiosity, honesty, anger, and ultimately acceptance in 12 essays spanning her life in Queens, NY, as a first generation Jamaican American. She breaks down the 10 levels of Black Girl Math, from the hard glare to responses reserved for unfaithful boyfriends. She comes to terms with and heals from fraught relationships with her father, friends, and romantic partners. She takes the devastating news that she’s a Black girl with a “flat ass” in stride, and adds squats to her routine, eventually. From a harrowing encounter in a hotel room leading her to explore celibacy (for now) to embracing rather than fearing the “Milli Vanilli” of emotions in hurt and anger, Golding embraces everything she’s learned with wit, heart, and humility. A Black Girl in the Middle is both an acknowledgment of the complexity and pride of not always fitting in and validation of what Black girlhood and womanhood can be.
