\nAbout What's Mine a nd Yours
\nAn intergenerational saga of two families whose live s collide and overlap over 30 years. When a county initiative in the Piedm ont of North Carolina forces the students at a mostly black public school to move across town to a nearly all-white high school\, the community rise s in outrage. Supporting the integration is Jade\, Gee's steely\, single\, black mother\, grieving for her murdered partner\, but determined to give her son a better chance. Opposing the integration is Noelle's enterprisin g mother\, Lacey May\, who refuses to see her half-Latina daughters as any thing but white. The uneasy waltz of these two families captures larger te nsions within the community. The choices these mothers make will affect th e life they live and the people they love. This book provides a sharp\, po ignant look at the ways race affects even the closest of relationships.
