The impact of Bree’s grief is something that stuck with me throughout the book. The opening to this story is a blow that will resonate with those that have experienced the loss of a loved one.
What I didn’t expect was the gut wrenching journey through grief and the horror at the racism the main character Bree faces day to day.
