Rest in peace to Tracy Brown, you truly shared your visions with the world. 

Brooklyn is a captivating thriller about a Pastor's daughter trying her best to survive in a stifling household. Although it starts out slowly, the plot really hits the ground running and doesn't leave room to process some of the events that happen. The characters feel very real, and it's easy to empathize with everything they experience. 

Thank you to NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
