 \n<p>The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing u
 p together in a small\, southern black community and running away at age s
 ixteen\, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as
  adults\, it's everything: their families\, their communities\, their raci
 al identities. Ten years later\, one sister lives with her black daughter 
 in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly pas
 ses for white\, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still\, e
 ven separated by so many miles and just as many lies\, the fates of the tw
 ins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation\, when the
 ir own daughters' storylines intersect? Weaving together multiple strands 
 and generations of this family\, from the Deep South to California\, from 
 the 1950s to the 1990s\, Brit Bennett produces a story that is at once a r
 iveting\, emotional family story and a brilliant exploration of the Americ
 an history of passing.</p>\n<p>&mdash\;From the Catalog.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>B
