Judge’s Girls took me by surprise, I had no idea I was going to love this book as much as I did!! It’s the story of three women who are very different but they all loved the Judge wholeheartedly.
Maya is Judge Donaldson’s daughter from his first wife. She is a strong, independent, woman and successful attorney on her way to partner.
Ryder is seventeen, Maya’s step sister, a focused student, a poet, and trying to figure out how to fit in at school and at home.
Jeanie is Maya’s stepmother, a former but queen, a judge’s wife, Ryder’s mother and a complete drunk after the Judge passes away suddenly.
The three women are forced together because of Jeanie’s drinking and the Judge’s will. He left the house to Maya because it was her mother’s house, but said Jeanie could reside there as long as she wanted with Ryder. When Jeanie causes more than one scene in public while drunk Maya has to step in and sober her up for Ryder’s sake. The problem is that Maya and Jeanie never got along, Maya is pissed her father allowed her to stay in her mother’s house. Ryder is cleaning up her mother’s mistakes but eve she can’t stop the train wreck that is her mother. Jeanie just wants to stop missing the Judge.
This book was told from all 3 women’s perspectives. The author addressed difficult social issues like alcoholism, grief, racism, racial stereotypes, and more. She did it with grace and taught me important lessons through their story. I absolutely loved this book! It had so much heart and humor but told such an important story. It is a 5 star read for me! I can’t wait to read more books by Sharina Harris. This book was filled with wisdom, heart, and hope, 3 things this world needs a lot more of these days!
