Readers will be thoroughly pleased with Golden's new novel, which compassionately peels away the layers of a family's grief to reveal one woman's passage from repentance to renewal. Three generations of women struggle with the devastation of loss and the journey back to love as they head for a precarious reunion in contemporary Washington, D.C. There is Lena, the grieving mother and perpetrator of an unspeakable crime coming home to an uncertain future. And then there are Teresa and Adele, granddaughter and grandmother, carefully trying to move forward without expecting too much. These vividly rendered characters come to life, leaving the reader to cheer their strength and humanity. Highly recommended for all collections, especially those focusing on African American fiction
