This book was nothing short of spectacular from beginning to end. There were three generations of women that were involved in interracial relationships during three different time periods in Detroit's history. There are a series of photographs that are enmeshed in the history of a Detroit journalist. She ends up moving into the home of an aunt that she has never met. She finds clues in the home and is further drawn into the mystery of her family. The photographs were taken in the Detroit race riots and ended up helping to provide some closure for her aunt and to help provide healing for a lost love. I found the women to be strong and damaged in different ways that really shines throughout the book. I will be recommending this book to others to enjoy. This is the best book I have read in quite some time.
