Oprah Winfrey Instagram – My next @oprahsbookclub selection is “Kin” by @tayari Jones. This profoundly eloquent yet familiar novel follows two motherless daughters, Vernice and Annie, who are childhood best friends in Honeysuckle, Louisiana. They grow up together—but as life would have it, they take opposite paths in adulthood, one into polished privilege, the other into a volatile search for belonging, testing what friendship can survive, what mothers leave behind, and how far a woman will go to claim a life of her own.
Reading this book felt like being welcomed to a family reunion with people who have become your kin through blood or life experience. It will live within you long after finish reading it. Pick up a copy wherever you get your books, and watch our spoiler-free conversation on my YouTube channel (link in bio) or wherever you get your podcasts. | Posted on 24/Feb/2026 19:35:06
