Description
identical Black twins who run away from home, and whose lives divert when they choose very different paths. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss an audiobook that would be ideal for your next book group or for any listener seeking out a rich listen. Shayna Small’s narration brings the twins Stella and Desiree Vignes to life, and she creates lively and distinct voices for the entire cast. As we trace their lives, we meet their daughters and discover the impact of their choices on who their daughters become. It’s a story about searching for identity and becoming someone new centered around race, colorism, socioeconomics, and family. Published by Penguin Audio.
