You see their parents have entered into a unique relationship. The years slowly unravel the differences but more importantly the similarities while both girls tell the story from their perspective. The parents: James, Raleigh, Gwendolyn, and Laverne enter into a special pact that will forever attach them to one another. The only problem is that everyone doesn't have a clear understanding of the arrangement. The dynamics of these parental choices determine the outcomes of the children and that is what drives this story.<br /><br />The story line is one of the most original I've read this year. Jones is unique in her storytelling and the unfolding of tale will leave you mesmerized. The character descriptions are vivid and the emotions felt are real and raw. The color differences - silver (natural beauties) and the others - reminded me of great African American literature from the past. Jones is an author that is sharing her God given gift and I recognize her awesome talent...so should you. Tayari Jones is one of the modern 'talented tenth'.Ceskahttp://raisingselfesteem.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
