About the Book
It’s the weekend of the senior retreat at Padre Island and Naomi Watkins, the daughter of Rev. Harry and Sarah Watkins, is enjoying the respite. She’s feeling good and has too much to drink. And although she’s engaged, she has sex with two different classmates. Nine months later, Naomi gives birth to bio paternity twins, one conceived by the white father and the other by the black father. Unlikely Twins tells the story about the four families involved, the church congregation, and the challenges stemming from Naomi’s choices. It shares the heartache, the embarrassment, the hurt, and the healing. In this novel, the characters must confront their assumptions about race in order to build genuine relationships—the nature of which takes a surprising turn. Individuals and families must set aside their differences to support one another, and in the process, they find this openness has allowed love to blossom. An uplifting tale, it sends the message to all to maintain an open mind and be accepting of others.
