Across the country, people like Martin Luther King Jr. Like many cities in early 1960s America, Memphis is still segregated, but change is in the air. She is welcomed with open arms by Mama Sugar, a kindly matriarch and owner of the popular boardinghouse The Scarlet Poplar.

Sara King has nothing, save for her secrets and the baby in her belly, as she boards the bus to Memphis, hoping to outrun her past in Chicago. In this story of hope, resilience and unexpected love, a young mother finds refuge and friendship at a boardinghouse in 1960s Memphis, Tennessee.

Thank you Harper Audio / Netgalley for the ALC and HTP Books & Park Row Books, #partner, for the advanced copy of The Two Lives of Sara in exchange for my honest review.
