This was a wonderful book! Set in 1964 during the Civil Rights, Lily Owens is a young girl struggling to find herself. She lost her mother at a young age and her father turned into a cold, heartless man. After her stand-in mother, a black woman named Rosaleen, is arrested and beaten, Lily breaks her out of the hospital and they run away together. Lily and Rosaleen find there way to 3 black women who take them in. Once there, Lily is finally able to put the pieces of her life together with the help of these wonderful women. The book takes you through the racist times and how these women and one girl find love inside themselves. It's truly a heartwarming story. I would highly recommend this book.
