I loved this book so much.
It begins with Ebby Freeman and a tragedy she went through at 10. It explores how that changes the course of a person鈥檚 identity. Yet, so many other factors play a role. This book is beautifully done. It is raw, emotional, sad, painful, hopeful, heartbreaking, uplifting, and strong. It focuses on a family heirloom, a clay jar that has been in the family for 6 generations and how our backgrounds and ancestry also shape who we become. Family is such a central part of the story, all the love and care one brings changes people. It can bring us through more than we ever think is possible.
This is a great book because it makes you feel deeply and care ever page of the book. I just wanted the story to continue. Loved 馃挄
Thank You NetGalley, Charmaine Wilkerson, and Ballentine Books for a copy of this books. I always lean views for books I read.
