The Vanishing Half examines sisterhood, black identity, and race with compassion and conviction. The Vignes twins grew up inseparable in the ’60s in Mallard, Louisiana, a small town reserved for black residents with light skin. Stella and Desiree Vignes dream of lives that are free of the fear of lynching and stretch beyond that of performing menial labor for white people. When they flee to New Orleans as teenagers, Stella discovers that she can pass for white, and so begins the fracture that will forever separate the twins. A riveting and sympathetic story about identity and the bonds of family. — excerpted from Amazon
