This book about two girls and a woman who grieve the death of Judge Joseph Donaldson. It covers deep topics like racism, issues that arise in broken households, inequality, issues, struggles, and the oppression African Americans have faced, alcholism, and many others. Sometimes, when dealing with so many hard to talk about topics, the author may move too fast and it feels like the topics are just there to add to a list instead of to open conversations. That is not the case in this book. Sharina Harris moves through these hard to approach topics seamlessly, making it seem natural. The three main characters in this book, the judge's two daughters and his wife, take turns narrating this book, which shows us how three different people relate to the same event, and the differences in the ways they interact with the world. Overall, I recommend this book!
