Historia
When Ruby King’s mother is found murdered in their home in Chicago’s South Side, the police dismiss it as another act of violence in a Black neighborhood. But for Ruby, it means she’ll be living alone with her violent father. The only person who understands the gravity of her situation is Ruby’s best friend, Layla. Their closeness is tested when Layla’s father, the pastor of their church, demands that Layla stay away. But what are his true motives? And what is the price for turning a blind eye?

Bear it or perish yourself. Those are the words Helen Jean hears that fateful night in her cousin’s outhouse that change the trajectory of her life. Spanning decades, Perish tracks the choices Helen Jean—the matriarch of the Turner family—makes and the way those choices have rippled across generations, from her children to her grandchildren and beyond.

Resumen del Editor
Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2022 by Ms. Magazine, The Root, Popsugar, Bustle, and many more!
“An utterly absorbing and dazzling novel about the stories we tell to stay alive and the secrets we keep to protect ourselves.” — Nancy Jooyoun Kim, New York Times Bestselling author of The Last Story of Mina Lee
In 1960s Memphis, a young mother finds refuge in a boardinghouse where family encompasses more than just blood and hidden truths can bury you or set you free.
Sara King has nothing, save for her secrets and the baby in her belly, as she boards the bus to Memphis, hoping to outrun her past in Chicago. She is welcomed with open arms by Mama Sugar, a kindly matriarch and owner of the popular boardinghouse The Scarlet Poplar.
Like many cities in early 1960s America, Memphis is still segregated, but change is in the air. News spreads of the Freedom Riders. Across the country, people like Martin Luther King Jr. are leading the fight for equal rights. Black literature and music provide the stories and soundtrack for these turbulent and hopeful times, and Sara finds herself drawn in by conversations of education, politics and a brighter tomorrow with Jonas, a local schoolteacher. Romance blooms between them, but secrets from Mama Sugar’s past threaten their newfound happiness and lead Sara to make decisions that will reshape the rest of their lives.
With a charismatic cast of characters, The Two Lives of Sara is an emotional and unforgettable story of hope, the limitations of resilience and unexpected love.

Leah is a child from Away, isolated from her peers because of her stutter. After her family moves to Mattingly, she begins painting scenes that are epic in scope, brilliant in detail, and suffused with rich, prophetic imagery. When the event foreshadowed in the first painting dramatically comes true, the town takes notice. Leah attributes her ability to foretell the future to an invisible friend she calls the Rainbow Man. Some of the townsfolk are enchanted with her. Others fear her. But there is one thing they all agree on—there is no such thing as the Rainbow Man.

Historia
Leah is a child from Away, isolated from her peers because of her stutter. After her family moves to Mattingly, she begins painting scenes that are epic in scope, brilliant in detail, and suffused with rich, prophetic imagery. When the event foreshadowed in the first painting dramatically comes true, the town takes notice. Leah attributes her ability to foretell the future to an invisible friend she calls the Rainbow Man. Some of the townsfolk are enchanted with her. Others fear her. But there is one thing they all agree on—there is no such thing as the Rainbow Man.

Simply brilliant
This book tells a story that pulls on every heart string. It is beautifully written and brings the reader on a journey of all emotions. Rich with details that provide descriptions you can almost taste, smell, and feel. The author leaves you desperate with compassionate curiosity wanting to know more.
The performance was wonderful. I’d highly recommend this book to any adult.

What a BEAUTIFUL mess
This story STOLE my heart! Sara’s lonesome, crushing take sent me on a roller coaster. I wanted so badly for her to be happy, but for some, that’s just a pipe dream. This story was wonderfully written with beautiful imagery and an intense sense of longing. I HIGHLY recommend it, but be sure to grab a box of tissues.

Review
Powerful, moving book but I have to say the ending upset me. I really struggled with it.

Excellent story.
The story is a great continuation of the previous book. I didn’t care to much for the voice changes for the characters. It was actually quite annoying as all of them had the same voice, including Mama Sugar. Otherwise, five stars all the way around.

The narration made it difficult to finish
While I’m a fan of the talented Adenrele Ojo, I didn’t enjoy her narration of this title, specifically when voicing the southern characters.
The accent sounded like a forced, bad impression of what southern accents might sound like to anyone living outside of the South.
It honestly made it hard for me to grow attachments to any of the characters.

Amazing
This book made me feel everything, anger, sadness, joy, heartbreak. We never know what someone is going through and Sara’s life shows you the proof I’m that.

Heartbreakingly beautiful
Sara’s life is full of grief, sadness and let down. When everything seemed to be crumbling around her, she had the love of her people…her community. This is a beautiful book full of heartbreak and how she gets through her darkest days. You will love this book.

The ending was depressing
I wish it would have ended differently, no closure. The ending leaves you wishing for something better.

Speechless
There was trauma, beauty, love and heartbreak in this story. It was narrated very well. I’m not sure how I feel about the ending. I feel like the story hasn’t ended.
