Program Description

Event Description

The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters' storylines intersect?

This title is available in both eBook and Audiobook formats on Overdrive. You may also pick up a hard copy at the library beginning March 23.  

This program will be presented as a Zoom meeting. The URL and phone number for the "meeting" will be emailed to all registrants before the program.
