A very disappointing book. I heard great things about this book but it fizzled out for me. Sometimes not knowing is worse than a bad thing happening. A very disappointing book. I heard great things about this book but it fizzled out for me. Sometimes not knowing is worse than a bad thing happening. The Family should have told Alice and the authorities there was an accident and Bear died. Not knowing and not remembering all those years ruined Alice and ruined Alice being a mother for Barbara. This is a bad, bad family. Judy is bad too. Barbara is a minor. Judy has a duty to report that she knows where Barbara is. This will be another unknown for Alice. It's just not right. A bunch of bad characters. Not the great book I thought it would be....more

All the casual sex is appalling. Francesca sleeping with her ex-husband is disgusting. Lila sleeping with two different men on the first date is repulAll the casual sex is appalling. Francesca sleeping with her ex-husband is disgusting. Lila sleeping with two different men on the first date is repulsive. Woman need to respect themselves and their bodies. This type of behavior sends a bad message to women reading the book. That issue aside- the story moved along and there were many subplots that tied together. How did Francesca ever get together with Bill? I feel sorry for Dan. In six months he will be in the same boat in his new relationship and still have his two older daughters to provide for. If Gene is so good with kids, why did he "drop the ball" on his own daughter? A mistakes theme. Francesa made a mistake by sleeping with Gene Lila made a mistake by sleeping with the widower Celie made a mistake by befriending bad people ...more

It sounds like a tough life to live- always on the road, always away from family, always chasing the next hit, not knowing who to trust- not all fun.

Excellent Book. It's terrible what the slaves went through. Slavery was a very dark part of American History. Many White people died in the Civil War Excellent Book. It's terrible what the slaves went through. Slavery was a very dark part of American History. Many White people died in the Civil War fighting for black Freedom. Thank Goodness the North Won. There is not enough written about the slavery going on today that the Democrats created at the Southern Border. People are sold into sex slavery and work slavery every day at the southern border. There are child slaves working for nothing. We are done with the Plantation Slaves of the 17-1800s. We need more literature and awareness of the modern day slavery going on right now....more

I guess I didn't get it. My mother's mother died when she was 12. I remember being 12 and thinking, will my mother die this year. Did it change my actions? No. Cherry was mean. She caused the people anxiety and worry. I usually like Moriarty's books. I loved Truly Madly Guilty. This one stunk....more

I liked the beginning about Melania's childhood and how she got to America but there was very little detail. When she met Trump- very little detail. How did she get along with the 4 older children? Did the Trump's entertain more children after Baron? Sounds like Melania grew up pretty well off. I was hoping for more....more
