ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Vanishing Half" by Brit Bennett follows the lives of twin sisters, Desiree and Stella Vignes, who grow up in a small, light-skinned African American community in Louisiana. After escaping their hometown, their paths diverge dramatically; Stella chooses to pass as white, while Desiree returns with her dark-skinned daughter, Jude. The novel explores themes of race, identity, and colorism, delving into how societal expectations shape personal choices and familial relationships. As their daughters, Jude and Kennedy, navigate their own identities, the story highlights the lasting impact of the twins' decisions on their family legacy.
