Wow, wow, wow! What a phenomenal story exploring the impact of colorism (in the Deep South, too) across generations of women in a single family.
Beautiful parallels, intriguing characters, and amazing settings. Loved getting to know these women, their struggles, their joys. Desiree and Jude were the stars of the show for me.
