I found this book to be a very interesting character study of what one event can do to completely change the course of people’s lives. I liked the aspect of the Mothers having an almost omniscient voice sprinkled throughout. Overall it wasn’t spectacular, but it was still emotionally moving and intriguing.

A story that focuses on three young people in a contemporary Black church community in Southern California. Even as their paths intersect and divulge, a secret ties them together, and years later, threatens to disrupt the lives they've built for themselves. It's written with enchanting, lyrical prose, and poses interesting questions around love and ambition, community and choice.
