Now it's time to speak her truth. Until twenty-four hours ago, Mickey Hayward was living the life she'd always dreamed of: - Working as a full-time writer for a trendy media company (tick)- In a committed, loving relationship (tick) Now she's fired, tossed aside for a younger, more 'agreeable' Black writer. Sick of being overlooked, she responds with an online letter detailing the racism she's faced within the industry. And when a media scandal turns Mickey's post into a viral sensation, suddenly everyone wants to hear what she has to say. That's what Mickey has always wanted – isn't it? * * * Tropes: · Coming of age· Old flame· Love triangle· City girl/small hometown
