Renee Watson
Fiction W337s
Identical twins Nikki and Maya have been on the same page for everything-friends,
school, boys and starting off their adult lives at a historically
African-American college. But as their neighborhood goes from
rough-and-tumble to up-and-coming, suddenly filled with pretty coffee
shops and boutiques, Nikki is thrilled while Maya feels like their home
is slipping away. Suddenly, the sisters who had always shared everything
must confront their dissenting feelings on the importance of their
ethnic and cultural identities and, in the process, learn to separate
themselves from the long shadow of their identity as twins.
In her inspired YA debut, Renee Watson explores the experience of young African-American women navigating the traditions and expectations of their culture.
