Wow. This book packs a punch. I knew before I started reading that it was about race, but it is so much more than that. It's about sacrifice, parenthood, society, love, hate, and introspection. It's about being strong and also about being weak. This book pierced me in a permanent way, and I am better for it.

I like her novels, but can't read them back-to-back because of the sameness of them.
