"When a county initiative in the Piedmont of North Carolina forces the students at a mostly black public school on the east side to move across town to a nearly all-white high school on the west, the community rises in outrage. For two students, quiet and aloof Gee and headstrong Noelle, these divisions will extend far beyond their schooling. As their paths collide and overlap over the course of thirty years, their two seemingly disconnected families begin to form deeply knotted, messy ties that shape the trajectory of their lives. On one side of the school integration debate is Jade, Gee's steely, single, black mother, grieving for her murdered partner, and determined for her son to have the best chance at a better life. On the other, is Noelle's enterprising mother, Lacey May, who refuses to see her half-Latina daughters as anything but white. The choices these mothers make will resound for years to come. And twenty years later, when Lacey's daughters return home to visit her in hospital, they're forced to confront the ways their parents' decisions continue to affect the life they live and the people they love. WHAT'S MINE AND YOURS is a sweeping, rich tapestry of familial bond and identity, and a sharp, poignant look at the ways race affects even the closest of relationships. This is not just one love story, but many: It's the all-consuming volatile passion of young lovers and the quieter comfort of steady companionship; it's the often tenuous but unbreakable bond between siblings; and it's the unconditional love that runs between parent and child and encompasses adoration, contempt and forgiveness. With gorgeous prose, Naima Coster explores the unique organism that is every family: what breaks them apart and how they come back together"--… (plus d'informations)

I chose this for the book group I lead and going into the discussion I had very mixed feelings. I didn't think there was enough substance but my group proved me wrong. One woman pointed out the role that housing played which I found accurate and interesting. We talked about motherhood, lack of fathers and the humanity of all the characters, however flawed they may be. ( )

This was so close to a DNF for me. The only reason I finished was so I could count it as a book I’ve read. Bleak, long winded and painfully boring, it was nothing like the description and was full of unlikeable characters and awkward disgusting sex scenes. Terrible! ( )

Allow a day and a half for this NC17 contemporary small-town interracial soap opera romance, set mainly in the Piedmont of North Carolina. ( )

I read this as part of the One Maryland One Book program. If it wasn't for this program, I don't think I would have read this book. It is a story about race relations, but in addition to the racial topic, it addressed issues of teen pregnancy, prejudice, homosexuality, drug and alcohol abuse, absentee fathers, poverty, abortion, and more. It was almost as if the author wanted to put every possible societal issue in the book. It ranged from 1992 to 2018, and would flip back and forth between the timelines.
I think it did a good job of addressing racial issues, but I thought it could have been more focused at times. ( )

This is a One Maryland One Book selection for the theme of "New Beginnings".
While there will be many issues to discuss (I'm leading the discussion in my Bookclub), I found this book difficult to follow with so many characters and jumping timelines. I'm not going to ask participants in our discussion to rate this book, fearing low ratings. ( )
