I inhaled this book! Beloved Judge Joe unexpectedly dies, leaving his daughter, Maya, his second wife, Jeanie, and his step-daughter, Ryder, reeling. While Maya adores her step-sister, Ryder, she and Jeanie have never gotten along. However, without Judge Joe, they need to figure out how they are going to get along well enough to support Ryder who is in high school.
The book is told in alternating chapters by each female. They all have interesting storylines with a common theme of grief. Maya is hoping to make partner in her law firm and is determined to keep her romantic relationship a secret. Jeanie is not coping well and is using alcohol as a crutch. Ryder is trying to be the peace maker and is looking for support wherever she can find it.
I was touched by their journeys, insecurities, and interactions, and was rooting for all of them. I'm looking forward to reading more by Sharina Harris.
