Solid 4.5 for me! I loved these characters and their stories.

I worried at the beginning that with so many different women, I would struggle to keep the storylines straight. But after reading a couple chapters from each, it was pretty easy to remember who was who.

I loved that this was following the same family of women through a couple centuries. It was an interesting way to tell the story. I also have a goal to diversify my reading this year, so I enjoyed reading about the experiences of black women through different timelines.

**ARC review. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read it early.

I thought this was a strong story and worked with the two centuries going on this journey. The plot was everything that I was looking for and enjoyed how everything worked together. I enjoyed the feel of this and had that overall character development with this book. I enjoyed how good this was and look forward to more from Julie L. Brown.
