Farrah’s mother thinks there’s something wrong with her daughter, and she wants to take her far away from Cherish and her parents. Staying at Cherish’s house should be the best possible thing - except that from the moment Farrah gets there, she can’t quite seem to feel like she has any control at all. But that naivety just means she’s easier to manipulate by Farrah.
Cherish is spoiled and coddled in a way that even upper-class Black parents can’t afford to do.Ĭherish doesn’t understand just how privileged she is. She does not let her mask down for anyone, especially Cherish, who she likes to call WGS - White Girl Spoiled. She deeply analyzes every word and action that comes at her to keep everyone under her thumb. The story is told from Farrah’s point of view, a seventeen-year-old who is obsessed with control. They gave her a void, and I filled it.”Ĭherish Farrah takes a while to build, but it’s worth it for the ending. When she thought she was comfortable in the life her parents made for her, even with their hair and skin care classes, their social awareness, and the way they’ve been intentional in raising a healthy, protected Black daughter. An example of that is something Farrah says: “She isn’t just the home I’ve chosen I’m the one who mattered. They open their home to Farrah, but she is determined to be in control.
When Farrah’s Black parents foreclose on their home, Farrah moves in with Cherish and her white adoptive parents, Brianne and Jerry Whitman. Cherish Whitman and Farrah Turner are best friends and the only two Black girls in their country club community.
