Join MPR News journalist Kerri Miller in discussion with author Naima Coster about her beautiful new novel, What's Mine and Yours.
From the publisher: What's Mine and Yours is an expansive, vibrant novel that moves between the years, from the foothills of North Carolina to Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Paris. It explores the unique organism that is every family: what breaks them apart and how they come back together. A North Carolina community rises in outrage as a county initiative draws students from the largely Black east side of town into predominantly white high schools on the west. For two students, Gee and Noelle, the integration sets off a chain of events that will bond their families together in unexpected ways over the span of the next twenty years. And their mothers – each determined to see her child inherit a better life – will make choices that will haunt them for decades to come.
