Damani is tired. Every day she cares for her mum drives ride shares to pay the bills and is
angry at a world that promised her more before spitting her out. That is until the summer she
meets Jolene and life opens up. Jolene seems like she could be the perfect girlfriend -
attentive attractive liberal - and their chemistry feels genuine. So maybe Damani can look
past the one thing that's holding her back: Jolene is white. But Jolene really doesn't seem
like one of the bad ones - she's done the reading she goes to every protest she even listens.
Still just as their romance intensifies just as Damani learns to trust Jolene does something
unforgivable setting off an explosive chain of events. Your Driver is Waiting is a blackly
comic and deeply political novel about anger love and privilege in all their messy forms.
