Title: Where Women Are Kings
Description: Elijah is seven 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. Although each of them face more challenges than they could have dreamed of, Elijah eventually starts to settle in. But then Nikki becomes pregnant, and everything changes.
