Reasonable Accommodations

By Tiara L Simmons Mercius

Jordan Ellis is a brilliant, Black woman lawyer, a sharp-witted disability rights attorney, and a professional boundary setter who uses a wheelchair and refuses to shrink herself to fit a world that was never built with her in mind.

After winning a high-profile case, Jordan is recruited by Ashcroft, Hale & Bishop, one of the nation's most prestigious corporate law firms. The firm says it wants diversity, inclusion, and meaningful change. Jordan wants to believe them. But from hidden accessibility barriers to awkward workplace assumptions, she quickly learns that good intentions are not the same as actual access.

As Jordan tries to change the system from the inside, she is pulled into office politics, impossible expectations, unexpected friendships, a complicated romance with charming opposing counsel Marcus Bennett, and a workplace accommodation dispute that exposes how fragile the firm's commitment to inclusion really is.

Witty, heartfelt, and deeply relatable, Reasonable Accommodations is a contemporary legal dramedy about ambition, friendship, love, burnout, disability, and the courage it takes to take up space in rooms that were never designed for you.

Perfect for readers who enjoy workplace fiction, legal fiction, millennial humor, romantic comedy, and stories centered on Black women, disabled representation, and changing systems from within.
