4.5 stars. This debut novel takes an intimate look into the lives of the Black community & a family’s struggles & triumphs thru three generations. Uniquely told thru the lens of 3 voices / 3 generations I found myself compelled to keep reading. There was a tension felt as I read in that I knew how the story would end,but at the same time hoping for a triumphant outcome. I was left with the intense feeling of all that still needs to happen to make it possible for all to be equal & have the life each person dreams about.
