The Vanishing Half: A GMA Book Club Pick (A Novel)

The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett follows twin sisters who grow up inseparable in a small Southern Black community but choose very different lives as adults. One sister lives as a Black woman in the South with her daughter, while the other passes as white, hiding her past from her family. Spanning decades and generations—from the Deep South to California—the novel explores identity, race, family, and the enduring impact of the past on choices and desires. It’s a deeply emotional story about how far people will go to define who they are.
