This book explores female strength, motherhood and race - in the setting of the segregated US in the 1950s. Heartwarming, sad and profound, this book is an inspiring read.
<Spoiler>And the way you see Eleanor‘s and Ruby‘s story slowly interlacing… the ending, when they finally meet, didn’t leave me, even after I closed the book. Do they know how they are connected? Will they know?

Incredible! Absolutely incredible! I was completely immersed in both Ruby & Eleanor’s stories. I wish I could give this book 10 stars! Sadeqa Johnson is an excellent author! My goodness….this book, just like “Yellow Wife,” will sit with me for awhile. Easily my favorite of 2023!

Whew, this book put me through all sorts of emotions. I had to pause every now and then to ask myself some questions. Although this is historical fiction, the trajectory and experiences of these women could easily be set in 2023. It's wild to have their stories reflected in current times. I was kind of tense listening to this book because each character is ONE decision away from complete ruin. So it was hard to not anticipate what might happen next. Their stories are woven intricately and interestingly. I thought about this book for a long time after I finished it. It had a profound impact on me and I'll definitely be reading more from Sadeqa Johnson.
