I started this book yesterday. Normally I am a slow reader if the book doesn't catch my attention in the first few chapters, that was not the case with this book. Effie and Fern already have me wanting to find out more.

It is so heartbreaking to read a book like this. Often,  biracial people can experience maltreatment and discrimination abroad. In this book, we can see how they suffer from it. This book should be out there to awaken other people to the fact that racism and discrimination are not good. Surely these characters will teach us something and inspire everyone. captivating and excellent review. great job

The Truth Together is a powerful and moving book about the importance of truth, honesty, and vulnerability in relationships.
The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, Rodger explores the importance of truth in relationships. She argues that truth is essential for building trust and intimacy, and that it is only when we are willing to be truly honest with ourselves and with others that we can truly connect with them on a deep level.
overall, The Truth Together is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to build stronger, more meaningful relationships in new ways and it will offer you the tools you need to be more truthful, hones, and vulnerable in your interactions with others.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about the importance of truth, honesty, and vulnerability in relationships. It is a book that stay with you long after you finish reading it.

Everything was based on the two distinctions, making life difficult for Alonzo Herndon. He was born a slave and fathered by his White owner. Being biracial meant he did not identify with either of the groups and always had to fight for recognition. His daughter Effie Herndon also endured the same fate.Fern Walker was born and raised within the facility’s walls. Her mother, who suffered a series of injustices, died of tuberculosis, leaving a young Fern behind with no one to care for her. At fifteen, she fell pregnant and was attacked just before she was full term. She barely survived the attack and lost her unborn son.
