| "My Sister and Me" is a compelling story about two teenage girls growing up in the 1950s. Living in Cincinnati, Ohio, they are abandoned by the people they believe are their parents. Lynne and Patsy have been cared by their African American housekeeper, Loretta. In alternating chapters, first Lynne and then Patsy describe the people and events that begin to heal the wounds of their isolated childhood. Gradually they come to know and love both Loretta's family and their grandfather. Despite Loretta's disapproval, Patsy and Loretta's 18-year-old son, Walter, fall in love. In 1955, schools and neighborhoods in Cincinnati were sharply segregated so the growing closeness of the girls and their grandfather with Loretta and her relatives does not sit well with their all-white neighbors. A fascinating account of historical fiction, this novel takes readers on a compelling journey that dives into the complexities of family and heightened racial tensions during the mid-20th century. |
