I enjoyed this book from start to finish. It is an excellent read that
is hard to put down.

Her mother in law never liked Sela Barnes - nor for that matter, had her father in law. They couldn't forgive the unplanned pregnancy that had led to Sela's marriage to their son, Rodney, and even after twenty years and six beloved grandchildren later, their heart hadn't softened toward their son's wife. Sela had given up trying to win them over convinced that and African American woman daughter-in-law would never be acceptable to the senior Barnes. Then sudden illness stole Rodney from her. With Rodney dead his parents were only too ready to cut Sela out of their lives and take her children as their own. Sela faces the future torn between rage and grief.
