What to expect
In the heart of West Philadelphia, two women's lives collide in a heart-wrenching tale of love, loss, and unexpected redemption.
Brittney, a young mother abandoned by her children's father, struggles to raise three children in an apartment she can barely afford. Her neighbor reports her to the Department of Human Services, and the DHS decides the children are "unsafe," an amorphous accusation no one can define.
As Brittney argues with a skeptical judge, caseworkers place her children with Rebecca, a forty-year-old professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Rebecca knows the children aren't hers to keep, but once the patter of tiny feet fills the quiet halls of her Victorian home, she can't imagine life without them.
The two women are on opposing sides of a custody battle, but under the shadow of an inept foster care system, they begin to realize they have more in common than they thought. Together, they ask the question: in an imperfect world, can they somehow forge their own versions of family, love, and motherhood?
