● Book: The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett 

1. How did you enjoy this book?  

2. What was on your mind the most while you were reading?

3. What part did you underline?

4. Why did Stella and Desiree make such different life choices,
and what does that show us about being yourself or changing to fit in?

5. How does Jude, the daughter, see the world differently from her mom and aunt, and what does that tell us about how times have changed?

6. The characters keep secrets. What does the story say about whether it’s better to hide things or to tell the truth?

7.By the end, what does the book say about what “home” really means—is it a place, people, or something inside you?

We learned the definition of "Passing" in racial identity. 

Passing;
refers to the practice of a person being accepted as a member of a different racial group than the one they were born into. In the context of American history, it usually describes light-skinned African Americans who were able to present themselves as white and live as white in society.
