The other Half of my hearat by Sundee Frazier 294 pages

Minerva and Keira King are twin sisters that made headlines around the world on the day they were born. You would never think that they were even related because Keira was born black like her mom and Minerva was born white like their Dad. Minni is particularly confused about who she is during the summer they visit their maternal grandmother who enrolls them in the Miss Black Pearl Preteen of America contest. Is Minnie black and does she have a right to participate in the contest? Does their grandmother prefer Minnie because of her appearance? This unique look at biracial twins explores loyalty, conflicts and the power of families to transcend racial boundaries.
