I cried.
Yep. I cried more than once. Sometimes (as expected), sad tears. Sometimes surprisingly happy and hopeful tears. I loved this one.
I approached with some hesitation � I was afraid that it was going be yet another white author telling a Black person’s tale. It wasn’t though. Baldacci is telling a story of heartbreak, complexity, and history that not only exposes the racism of the past, but the still relevant challenges of today.
The best character of all was Helly � she was so very complex.
This is a really good book and absolutely worth the read.

"While I understand the author's reluctance to type out the N word, I think most readers would understand it in the context of story and character. His short cuts for the word are bothering me, but the story is good."
