Join us for our next gathering as we dive into Kin by Tayari Jones, a powerful exploration of mothers and daughters, friendship, sisterhood, and the complexities of being a woman in the American South. This was Davida and Dena's recommendation.

📖 ABOUT THE BOOK:
Vernice and Annie are two motherless daughters raised in Honeysuckle, Louisiana—best friends since childhood but destined for starkly different paths. Vernice, raised by a fierce aunt, leaves for Spelman College, joins a sisterhood of powerfully connected Black women, and marries into affluence. Annie, abandoned by her mother and consumed by the need to find her, embarks on a journey into peril, adversity, love, and adventure that will ultimately become a battle for her life.
Tayari Jones (author of An American Marriage) delivers an exuberant, emotionally rich, and unforgettable story about the bonds between women, the weight of absence, and the strength it takes to forge your own path.
