I was captivated by this dark psychological thriller focusing on motherhood, something society doesn't discuss as "dark" or "psychologically thrilling." 

The book spoke to me as a mother. The worries of who your child will become and in what ways you will f up as a mom. The relationship between mothers and daughters is complex, and I'm thrilled to read similar stories. 

Stay up late reading this book with a glass of wine/tumbler of whiskey, or on a gloomy, rainy day. I hope you get the chance to get pulled in its web and devour as much in one sitting.

informative inspiring slow-paced

A look into the Civil Rights movement in a way I was never taught in school. Motley exemplifies the greatness and opportunity America fosters, as well as the oppressive systems used to limit power which she challenged throughout her career. 

I felt as though I was looking at American history in the past, present, and possible future through each of Brown-Nagin's insightful chapters. 

I will be reflecting on and rereading these pages for many years to come.
