I really enjoyed this book based on the story of Dinah in the bible. There were a couple things that the author writes about that were totally off from what the bible says and those bothered me but other than that the connection between the women and the various relationships that they share was interesting and i really enjoyed the book

review:
Wow was this book intense! What the main character goes thru is mind boggling at times. She's learned to lie to bill collectors and run from the klan before she's 5 and at 7 she starts getting raped by a family friend. Her best friend Rhoda never seems to totally fit the story but she still plays an intricate part in helping her figure out how to get the family friend to stop. A few twists and turns. Towards the end I got really mad because for a brief moment I felt bad for the family friend but once his relationship with the mother is truly revealed, I went right back to thinking he was a booty face...it's heavy for sure but worth the read....
