Long After We Are Gone
by Terah Shelton Harris
When King Solomon passed away, his last words are, "Don't let the white man take the house." As each of his four children return home with their own struggles and secrets, the difficulty of this request becomes apparent. Since the property has been passed on as heir property a legal loophole may mean they can't fulfill their Dad's last request! Each of the siblings is wrestling with some big issues and they have their reasons for fighting.
I enjoyed a lot about this book, the writing style, the multiple points of view, and what I learned about the issue of heir property. However, it lost stars for me because I wasn't able to root for the main characters. I understand needing flawed characters and trying to gain redemption... But i think it was too much. Some of the actions at the end were so out of character and without realistic consequences.
It was an interesting read, and had some major issues that need to be discussed, but I wish I had someone to root for. But, maybe that's what also made it realistic, there isn't always a hero in life.
This one was published earlier this month, so if it peaks your interest, go check it out!
Thank you to @netgalley for providing me with this ARC to read.
