The seemingly simple arrangement evolves as Rebecca, a white woman, begins to confront her privilege through her deepening relationship with Priscilla, who is black. When tragedy strikes and Priscilla dies in childbirth, Rebecca's life is thrown into uncharted territory as she adopts Priscilla's baby, stepping into the role of a white mother with a black son. With candor and insight into the complexities of motherhood, identity, and race, 'That Kind of Mother' explores the profound impact of the choices we make and the families we forge by necessity or design.
