 This book is hefty, but it’s worth it if you love characters facing bad choices, looking back on previous generations, and new chapters in characters’ lives. The different POVs from characters struggling with the consequences of their actions and place in the family is the focus on the book. 

I enjoyed the small town setting in the fictional North Carolina town of Diggs. I'm not a big fan of romances. There are some romances and romantic struggles, but these are stirred into larger narratives, so it made sense and I didn't mind it. 

This book explores generational curses and generational gifts. It explores various interpretations of the same land: is it a plantation house? A Kingdom? A curse that will always ask for more?
