A story about paving your own path while keeping a delicate string tied to where you came from. A tale of how religion and fundamentalism can poison your past, misalign your present and jeopardize your future.

This review is a month out of date oops. 
Read this for a book club & really enjoyed it! The northern women are so much like my family it was very fun to read their parts aloud. 
We had a good chat about this book as a group; lots of interesting things to say about class & faith & small working class communities & her mother. 
It made me want to go and watch the series. 
I enjoyed the random stories throughout but i know many are confused by them
