Karen has a problem. She’s the author of empowering YA novels that speak to young women of color. But Karen is white and has been writing under a pen name for more than twenty years, becoming more reclusive as her books gain popularity. When two aspiring black writers track down their favorite female author of all time (Karen), they expect her to be black. Karen’s attorney attempts to subvert the young fans, but a Vermont snowstorm traps them all inside to face the truth. Waiting out the storm, everyone must come to terms with what it means for any woman to use her voice and what monsters we conjure in the name of art.
