Synopsis
Depuis la mort de son mari, Bea Pullman élève seule sa petite fille Jessie. Delilah, une femme noire à la recherche d’un emploi, se présente par erreur à son domicile. Bea l’engage aussitôt comme domestique. Veuve elle aussi, Delilah est la mère de Peola, une petite fille à la peau très blanche. Les deux femmes ouvrent un modeste restaurant dont la spécialité, une recette de crêpes dont Delilah a le secret, les enrichit. Leur affaire prospère. Peola refuse d’être considérée comme noire : un jour où sa mère vient la chercher à l’école, se sentant humiliée devant les enfants de sa classe, tous blancs, elle s’enfuit en courant.
