Many thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the new release by Anissa Gray - 4.5 stars rounded up!
Deborah and her daughter, Trinity, are at home waiting to celebrate the birthday of their respective husband and father, Orzo. But he never comes home. In the time to come, we learn of their past and future and how they dealt with this disappearance.
This is a wonderful family saga spanning decades and told from the viewpoints of these three characters. We learn their family histories, their shared past, and their new lives going forward. This is a character-driven story that shows the characters dealing with so many different topics and time periods, from the Detroit race riots to the Vietnam War to AIDS to personal family traumas. You can feel the pull of these characters' choices and dreams - the secrets they kept and shared. It's how you move forward in life. It's raw, powerful, and wonderful storytelling.
