Elijah is 7 years old, with a history of disruptive behaviour. His adoptive mother Nikki believes that she and her husband Obi are strong enough to accept his difficulties - and that her being white will not affect her ability to raise a black son. Deborah, Elijah's birth mother, is ever present, and her on-going love for her son is a constant reminder for Nikki of something she's not part of, and that she's never had.
