“Book Descriptions: Perceptive and timely debut of identity and belonging―of a young woman determined to be seen.
I wanted to be chosen, or to choose––maybe I wasn’t sure the difference yet. Just that I saw choices glimmering outside my reach, and I wanted badly to get closer.
After college, Willa Chen never expected to be a nanny in New York, and certainly not for a family like the Adriens. With an entire apartment floor to themselves, and a living room the size of a football field, theirs is the kind of home many people dream of. But it’s the way that Nathalie, Gabe, and their daughter, Bijou, seem to belong together, to care for one another, that really strikes Willa, who still feels unmoored and grapples with loneliness even as she begins to feel part of their glamorous world.” DRIVE
