About this event
Kin by Tayari Jones In Kin, Vernice and Annie grow up as motherless neighbors and close friends in Honeysuckle, Louisiana, but their lives diverge as they reach adulthood. Vernice, raised by a protective aunt, leaves for Spelman College, where she becomes part of an influential community of Black women and confronts new experiences shaped by privilege, ambition and social inequality. Annie, driven by the desire to find the mother who abandoned her, embarks on a journey marked by instability, risk and emotional discovery, ultimately facing life-threatening circumstances. The novel explores themes of motherhood, friendship, identity and the social complexities of womanhood in the American South. Join the discussion here at the scheduled time.
