Winter and Arden Allister are two teenage sisters who've just moved
from Memphis to San Francisco and their interracial family is
thrust into the bourgeoisie of San Francisco's elite once the girls
begin the year at an exclusive private school. But when Winter
starts having problems with a boy at school and Arden continues to
suffer inexplicable and terrifying blackouts, each girl must tease
loose a separate thread of fate from their interwoven, close-knit
identity as sisters in order to unravel the arcane mystery of who
they really are. Once their futures are disentangled, Winter and
Arden find that destiny has drafted them both into the oldest war
the world's ever known-but placed them on opposite sides.
This book explores the experiences of migrant mothers through the
lens of the online communities they have created and participate
in. Examining the ways in which migrant mothers build relationships
with each other through these online communities and find ways to
make a place for themselves and their families in a new country, it
highlights the often overlooked labour that goes into sustaining
these groups and facilitating these new relationships and spaces of
trust. Through the concept of 'digital community mothering,' the
author draws links to Black feminist scholarship that has shed
light on the kinds of mothering that exist beyond the mother-child
dyad. Providing new insights into the experiences of women who
mother 'away from home' in this contemporary digital age, this
volume explores the concepts of imagined maternal communities,
personal maternal narratives, and migrant maternal imaginaries,
highlighting the ways in which migrant mothers imagine themselves
within local, national, and diasporic maternal communities. As
such, it will appeal to scholars and students with interests in
migration and diaspora studies, contemporary motherhood and the
sociology of the family, and modern forms of online sociality.
