But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Ten years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters storylines intersect? Weaving together multiple strands and generations of this family, from the Deep South to California, from the 1950s to the 1990s, Bennett produces a story that is at once a riveting, emotional family story and a brilliant exploration of the American history of passing. Looking well beyond the issues of race, it considers the lasting influence of the past as it shapes a person's decisions, desires, and expectations.</p> <p><strong>Teen Selection:</strong> <a href="https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1475887"><em>The Magic Fish</em></a> by Trung Le Nguyen</p> <p><strong>Children Selection:</strong> <a href="https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1362478"><em>We are Water Protectors</em></a> by Carole Lindstrom and Michaela Goade</p> <ul> <li>Watch Brit Bennett discuss colorism and racial passing on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smj3I8Co9cM">The Daily Show</a></li> <li>Check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_sHcUGdBHk">Trung Le Nguyen’s reading of <em>The Magic Fish</em></a> for the International Literacy Association</li> <li>Watch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqaFKvzjMuY">Michaela Goade speak</a> about indigenous representation and illustration for TIME.</li> </ul> </div> </div> <h4>2021 One Book, One San Diego</h4> <div class="row"> <div class="four columns"> <p><img alt="Judith Heumann, Being Heumann Book Cover" class="media-element file-default" data-delta="19" height="349" src="/sites/default/files/styles/100_percent/public/judith_heumann_book_cover.png?itok=WcavAbBo" typeof="foaf:Image" width="456" loading="lazy"></p> </div> <div class="eight columns"> <p><span style="font-size: 1em;">The 2021 One Book, One San Diego selection,</span> <em><a href="https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1367582">Being Heumann: An Unrepentant Memoir of A Disability Rights Activist</a></em> by Judith Heumann.</p> <p><em>Being Heumann: An Unrepentant Memoir of a Disability Rights Activist</em> tells the personal story of Judith Heumann’s lifelong campaign to gain respect and acceptance in a world that didn’t initially recognize the rights of the disabled.

Yet as his career begins to flourish, the carnage of the AIDS epidemic grows around him. One by one, his friends are dying and after his friend Nico’s funeral, the virus circles closer and closer to Yale himself. Soon the only person he has left is Fiona, Nico’s little sister.</p> <p>Thirty years later, Fiona is in Paris tracking down her estranged daughter who disappeared into a cult. While staying with an old friend, a famous photographer who documented the Chicago crisis, she finds herself finally grappling with the devastating ways AIDS affected her life and her relationship with her daughter. The two intertwining stories take us through the heartbreak of the eighties and the chaos of the modern world, as both Yale and Fiona struggle to find goodness in the midst of disaster.</p> <p><a href="https://www.sandiego.gov/public-library/onebook/2019">Guide to "The Great Believers"</a></p> </div> </div> <h4>2018 One Book, One San Diego</h4> <div class="row"> <div class="four columns"> <p><img alt="Congressman Jon Lewis with March book cover" class="media-element file-default" data-delta="6" height="210" src="/sites/default/files/styles/100_percent/public/march-lewis.jpg?itok=JjHI_hYn" typeof="foaf:Image" width="290" loading="lazy"></p> <p class="l-margin-bn"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Credit: Carlos Gonzalez / The1point8</span></p> </div> <div class="eight columns"> <p><span style="font-size: 1em;">The 2018 One Book, One San Diego selection, <a href="https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/show/1302762104"><em>March: Book One</em></a>, by Congressman John Lewis, Andrew Aydin and Nate Powell.</span></p> <p>This graphic novel is Congressman John Lewis' first-hand account of his lifelong struggle for civil and human rights, meditating in the modern age on the distance traveled since the days of Jim Crow and segregation. Rooted in Lewis' personal story, it also reflects on the highs and lows of the broader civil rights movement. Book One spans Lewis' youth in rural Alabama, his life-changing meeting with Martin Luther King, Jr., the birth of the Nashville Student Movement, and their battle to tear down segregation through nonviolent lunch counter sit-ins, building to a climax on the steps of City Hall. His commitment to justice and nonviolence has taken him from an Alabama sharecropper's farm to the halls of Congress, from a segregated schoolroom to the 1963 March on Washington D.C., and from receiving beatings from state troopers, to receiving the Medal of Freedom awarded to him by Barack Obama, the first African-American president.</p> <p><a href="https://www.sandiego.gov/public-library/onebook/2018">Guide to "March: Book One"</a></p> </div> </div> <h4>2017 One Book, One San Diego</h4> <div class="row"> <div class="four columns"> <p><img alt="Author Chris Bohjalian with his book "The Sandcastle Girls."" class="media-element file-default" data-delta="4" height="210" src="/sites/default/files/styles/100_percent/public/obosd-2017.jpg?itok=7D-1aBOY" typeof="foaf:Image" width="290" loading="lazy"></p> </div> <div class="eight columns"> <p><span style="font-size: 1em;">In 2017</span> One Book, One San Diego was proud to present<span style="font-size: 1em;"><em> <a href="https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/show/1245508104">The Sandcastle Girls</a></em> by New York Times bestselling novelist Chris Bohjalian.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 1em;"><em><a href="https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/show/1245508104">The Sandcastle Girls</a></em> is a multi-generational tale that spans nearly 100 years.
