Description
Things are looking up for Hillary Montgomery. After three months of unemployment, she’s landed a position with a top IT consulting firm, thanks to the secret maneuvering of her best friend, Lucia Hernandez. Hillary is confident that she has the qualifications to excel in her new position. But she will need more than competence and professionalism to navigate Sanger International’s corporate culture. From the moment she first interviewed with Sanger, certain people at high levels of the organization took one look at her dark skin and natural hair and came to a swift conclusion: not one of us.
