Synopsis: A powerful saga of three generations of women, plagued by hardships and torn by a devastating secret, yet inextricably joined by the bonds of family. Fifteen-year-old Mosey Slocumb-spirited, sassy, and on the cusp of womanhood-is shaken when a small grave is unearthed in the backyard, and determined to figure out why it's there. Liza, her stroke-ravaged mother, is haunted by choices she made as a teenager. But it is Mosey's strong and big-hearted grandmother, whose maternal love braids together the strands of the women's shared past--and who will stop at nothing to defend their future.
Type: Fiction
Quick Take: The plot in this book could be a nightmare. Big, Liza, and Mosey are separated by just fifteen years - Big is Liza's mom and Mosey's Grandmother. Liza has a stroke, and although her body defies her... her brain does not. So, imagine the life changing turn that happens when a family secret is revealed, one that only Liza can explain.
I adore Jackson's southern writing. She really knows how to develop characters that a reader connects to. This isn't the first book where I have been left wanting more. If you enjoy her novels, this one won't disappoint you.
