A very engrossing story. A good look at the 60's, a view onto the world of one family raising 4 girls. We follow Kathleen as she navigates high school, college adult life and how her choices affected the fabric of her family., the first part of the story is told in flashbacks, and then we meet up with modern day Kathleen,. Then the story takes on a very emotional turn and There were parts of the ending that broke my heart. I am not happy with the finale scene.
I have to say that I was quite disappointed with her father and her sisters. There were some repetitions n the dialogue that were a little annoying,

I received an ARC of this novel from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Kathleen finds love and loses her family in the bargain. Times change, acceptance comes, and the sisters make peace.

A story of acceptance of self and acceptance of family. 1 of 4 sisters comes out as a Lesbian. A story of how it effects her life, her parents and her sisters. It takes a tragedy to get to that point of acceptance by most. It was a moving story that brought tears> I highly recommend this book. Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read an advance copy.

The author did a great job in showing the struggles that someone estranged from their family has when they realize how badly they need that support system. This book also showed the impact that rejection from family causes. This was a great character driven book.
