I loved this story, it’s a tough one but it’s emotional (in a good way - not manipulative) and eye-opening. What brought this down for me was the unnecessary, almost awkward foreshadowing and explaining the author did. I think she could have given her readers more credit. I do want to read more about the Robert Taylor Homes after reading this book, though, and will be looking for a non-fiction book on the topic.
