Some great themes of complicated family relationships, hardship and perseverance. I enjoyed reading about Mariah and Sabrina and how their relationship morphed and grew after a very harsh start. I think both their stories were well told and had you invested in them as people and as sisters. And I liked that their growth was a partnership of both practical and spiritual.
The progression with Tabitha was also a heartbreaking but inspiring one, and I thought her character development was authentic and easy to relate to. It was fun seeing parts of Charleston in there as well, since I love visiting there and recognized the streets and some locations.
There were, however, a surprising number of typos and mistakes in the book tho, even tho it was an ARC. Hopefully some more editing is done before release, as the book certainly deserves it, but it wasn’t real sufficient in this pre-release.
Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy of this book. All opinions are mine.
