I received a complimentary copy of this ebook from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. Told from the viewpoints of Maya, Jeanie, and Ryder, it tells a heartbreaking story of how these three deal with the loss of their father/husband. They each struggle, whether it is by hardening their heart, drowning in drinks, or getting into trouble and they only way to get through it is to band together as a family and deal with those demons. I really felt for all three of them but I did like the way Maya and Ryder were such good sisters and I was rooting for them the whole time.

This book deals with the monsters of racism (like the hard times Jeanie and Joseph had when they got married), inequality due to sex or race, and alcoholism as well as the grieving process. Those were woven in well, as well as how Maya and the others dealt with these issues. There are sweet moments too, with growth from all of Judge's girls.

I definitely recommend this book! It stays with you and makes you think.
