“Because every time I accept that I'm worth less - less than a man, or a white person, or a gosh-darn oil baron - it punches a hole in my spirit. Punch enough holes and your spirit breaks.”

This was a great story about twin girls separated at birth that end up with entirely different upbringings as one is colored and one is white passing.

This is part of the 2023-24 Beehive Challenge books in Utah and I think it will be great for students to read and hear how things developed in the South, especially during the Jim Crow era.

This would have been a solid five had this book been longer, which would have provided more space for relationship development. Otherwise, the story, characters, and magical setting were fascinating. I immediately adored both of the dual protagonists, Charlie and Magnolia, and was invested in their unique situations.
