When Tennessee native Abigail (Abby) Worthington, a wealthy white woman in her thirties, meets Spencer Gibson, a twenty-something black man working as a cashier in a café in Hilton Head, South Carolina, she is instantly attracted to him. But she soon finds herself confusing their sexual relationship with love. Still reeling from her recent divorce, Abby is also dealing with a little ghost girl named Muriel, and she has spent years trying to figure out why the ghost continues to haunt her. Abby discovers that her ex-husband is now involved with her best friend, and in a rage, she takes matters into her own hands. But she'll have to face the consequences of her actions and identify the ghost girl from her past if she is to find any semblance of peace or resolution in her life. Expertly woven throughout the novel is the story of Elijah Redwater, a gay black man attending college in North Carolina who is insecure about his looks and humble background. He's come out of the closet and is struggling with dating and relationships until he meets Noah Cohen, a Jewish graduate student who teaches Elijah what love truly is about. Like a Child's New Toy is a powerful debut novel about lust, love...and revenge.
