The Vanishing Half

Author: Britt Bennett

For each of the books on the list, I am not saying much. I'll leave it to you to Google to find out more. There were so many books that could have been on the list, but we made a choice of a few and gave them to select friends and family. I was hoping I could figure out a way to make them all digitally available for all friends and family, but that may be something we have to figure out for next year ;-).

From NPR by Heller McAlpin:

It's an even better book [than The Mothers], more expansive yet also deeper, a multi-generational family saga that tackles prickly issues of racial identity and bigotry and conveys the corrosive effects of secrets and dissembling. It's also a great read that will transport you out of your current circumstances, whatever they are.
