Really bad thing happens to child, things go from bad to worse, warm and poignant scenes mixed in, some semblance of resolution by the end. Typical bestseller writing.
Really, it's not a bad book. Good characters, great lines, laugh out loud stuff, beautiful interweaving of nature here and there, and the warmth, like I said. It's just that it was exactly what I expected. I still enjoyed it enough to read to the end, but not enough to keep.
For real facts in the summary, this is about a teen girl growing up in 1960s south, facing racism and life without a mother and finding her way among the women of her life.
For those wanting to avoid it, fair amount of swearing.
