review 1: A departure from her Sammy’s House and Sammy’s Hill books, this quick read is much more serious and tackles the much heavier topic of race in America, past and present. A compelling story that moves quickly, though I wanted there to be more, of this to diver deeper into some of the other story lines that Gore sets up. I get why she didn’t—it easily could have become too much—but there’s part of me that wanted to see some of that [more about her mom, for example]. But overall, the storyline she sticks to I think she did very well, and while it’s serious and a little heavy, it’s not overly so.
review 2: I really enjoyed this book. It was a gift and I had no real interest in reading it however it did not disappoint. The subject matter did not int... moreerest me particularly, but I absolutely loved the characters, which is rare. I was interested in each of them, their stories and struggles and what secrets they held that had led each of them to the beginning of the story in the small racially charged town in which they lived. Simple, yet well done. A commentary on life then and the struggles that can still exist today. less
