VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON MEETING

The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett

Desiree and Stella Vignes are twin sisters who grow up together in a small, southern black community in Louisiana. Many years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other lives in California where she passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing about her life before she moved to the West Coast. The sisters' eventual reunion causes a reckoning with the decisions that have shaped their lives.

Moderated by Readers Advisory Librarian Cindy Haiken. To participate and for details about meeting virtually or in-person, contact Cindy at chaiken@wallingfordlibrary.org.
