So she is shocked when her babysitter, Emira Tucker, is confronted while watching the Chamberlains' toddler one night, walking the aisles of their local high-end supermarket. The store's security guard, seeing a young black woman out late with a white child, accuses Emira of kidnapping two-year-old Briar. A small crowd gathers, a bystander films everything, and Emira is furious and humiliated. Alix resolves to make things right. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut Emira herself is aimless, broke, and wary of Alix's desire to help. At twenty-five, she is about to lose her health insurance and has no idea what to do with her life. When the video of Emira unearths someone from Alix's past, both women find themselves on a crash course that will upend everything they think they know about themselves, and each other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With empathy and piercing social commentary, \u003ci\u003eSuch a Fun Age\u003c\/i\u003e explores the stickiness of transactional relationships, what it means to make someone \"family,\" and the complicated reality of being a grown up.
