We are reading The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett discussing in August.

“An indelible tale of identity, family and home that centers around identical twin sisters and their daughters, all living vastly different lives. From the acclaimed author of The MothersThe Vanishing Half is a story that asks pertinent and, at times, overwhelming questions about who we are and where we’re headed as a society. Brit Bennett’s writing is smart and sharp, funny and melancholy, and it’s clear she has a lot of love for her characters. You will not be able to put this book down!.”ONE OF BARACK OBAMA’S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR
