A thrilling gothic horror novel about biracial twin sisters
separated at birth, perfect for fans of Lovecraft Country and The
Vanishing Half - now in paperback! Magnolia Heathwood, heiress to a
decrepit cotton plantation in Jim Crow's Georgia, was raised to be
the perfect southern belle. All her life she's prepared to carry on
the family dynasty, but according to her cruel grandmother, she
always falls short. When Magnolia finally learns the truth-that she
is not white in this segregated land, but mixed race-her reflection
vanishes from every mirror: a sign of a terrible curse. And life in
Eureka, Georgia is getting stranger every day: The most popular
girl in town launches an initiative to segregate the dead in the
local cemetery, and white-passing Magnolia doesn't know how much
longer she can bear to live a lie. Meanwhile, Charlie Yates, an
aspiring Civil Rights organizer from Harlem, is speeding toward
Eureka beside her dying grandmother. Nana's last wish is to be
buried in the land they fled seventeen years ago, after the brutal
murder of Charlie's parents, who were killed for loving across the
color line. On a segregated train car, brave Charlie has never felt
so powerless. Nana's told her plenty of stories about the cursed
town they're headed for-but she's never told her that she left a
twin sister, Magnolia, behind. The sisters reunite as teenagers in
the deeply haunted town of Eureka, where ghosts linger centuries
after their time, and dangers lurk behind every mirror. They
couldn't be more different, but they will need each other: to put
the hauntings of the past to rest, to break the mirrors' deadly
curse-and to discover the meaning of sisterhood in a racially
divided land.

"Wilson’s optimistic view of feminism is based on the tenet of
liberation for all, placing marginalized communities front and
center... [A] foundational work." - NEW YORK TIMES What have you
been taught about who has power and who makes the rules? Have you
ever been lost for words at an old-school family friend’s
‘kind’ but sexist comments? Do you agree with equality and
strive for justice, but want to learn more? Then read on. In this
new feminist classic, the focus is intersectional from the
beginning, not just as an add-on. Using the framework of
‘personal is political’, Jamia Wilson – former director of
the Feminist Press – analyses her own experiences, before
expanding outwards and drawing on stats as well as quotes from
feminist firebrands and activists to inspire and encourage. Bold
illustrations underpin this title, and each chapter ends with
a ‘Call To Action’ box to encourage readers to reflect on
and embrace their own interpretation of feminism and to acknowledge
the connection between race, class, gender, disability and economic
justice. Expand what feminism means to you, your community and
society by examining these 15 themes: FeminismÂ
Identity Justice Education MoneyÂ
Power Health wellness freedomÂ
relationships media safety activism and
movements innovation An interactive exploration of
what feminism means to you. You will close the book with an

community and values to help change course when needed. You won’t
