Stella and Desiree Vignes, identical twin sisters, grew up in a small, southern black community where light skin is prized. But as teenagers, their paths diverge: Desiree returns to her hometown with a dark-skinned daughter, while Stella secretly passes as white, leaving her past behind. Spanning decades and generations, this multilayered narrative explores themes of identity, race, and familial bonds. Depictions of domestic abuse, racism, and sexual assault make this book better suited for older readers.
