Why this book?

Kin is a novel about: 

• What makes a family — and who gets to define it
• The ways class and race shape our lives — and opportunities
• How friendships evolve when life pulls you in different directions

It sits in that messy space between love and distance — which is exactly why we picked it.

The questions it raises

No spoilers — but it had us thinking about: 

• How much does “doing everything right” actually protect you?
• Why do some people move forward — and others can't?
• How much can someone really reinvent their life?

How the conversation works

After a short live conversation with author Tayari Jones, we’ll break into small discussion groups where:

✔️ Discussion prompts are provided (no prep needed)
✔️ The conversation is guided — but still relaxed
✔️ Listening counts as participating (camera-off friendly)

Everyone who attends gets an exclusive reading guide to keep — so the conversation doesn’t end when the event does.

We’d love to talk about Kin with you.
