Dealing with fringes of a high powered business environment. Reader skillfully taken from politically fueled to personal life. Nicely woven in is the impact of WP on various people and segments of society. Thought provoking read led to great discussion points.

A thoughtful but no-holds-barred imagining of a world where white privilege is a drug controlled by the people in power. People can take this drug, use it (& abuse it), & give it to others. Told through the perspectives of various people strung together in a series of events.
