emotional hopeful informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

 This memoir was a book club read for this month and is about a pair of sisters and a neighbor who becomes like a sister to them. They journey through many obstacles that come with racial & socio-economic factors with some tragedy & healing intertwined.

This was a beautifully written memoir that I sometimes forgot was nonfiction (in the best way!). Sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction. I appreciated the nuance the author was able to capture about the justice system, reconciliation, and drug abuse. This is definitely a book to read trigger warnings for prior to reading. I loved the way the author told her story!
