Thank you to Bookish First and Kensington books for the early copy of this one! Judge Joseph Donaldson was a good man and a pillar of the community. As a black judge, he had a scandal by marrying a younger white woman, Jeanie. When Joe dies, his wife, and both of his daughters, Maya and Ryder, must follow his will- which states that they must all live together in the house in order to collect their inheritance.
Jeanie is the wife and she hasn't worked in years. She is drinking her problems away and it's causing disastrous problems for her. Maya is the older daughter, and she is an intimidating attorney. Ryder is the teen that has to deal with Jeanie's drinking while trying to live her own life.
There's lots of dramas as we learn about each character and what they learn to cope with their problems and deal with adversity. This was such a heartwarming story!
