dark emotional sad medium-paced

4.25

Great narrator! Patricia R. Floyd brought these characters to life that made me feel their pain.
This book shows what happens when in a family everyone's cup is empty. Little compassion for one another and lots of arguing and accusations ensue. Family secrets are revealed that everyone has to grapple with.
At the same time this book is not hopeless and shows resiliency.
