This was a beautifully written book about grief, family drama, family secrets, family history, culture, healing, forgiveness, and so much more. This was little slow at first for me but I couldn't put it down.  I learned so much reading this and was rooting for them all.  

Thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine | Ballantine Books for the advanced digital copy.        My opinions are my own.
