Devil of a Favor is a very short story with a worrying premise and a twist.

PamG (lynguy1) | 2540 comments Here is my 3.87 rounded to 4 stars review of The American Daughters The American Daughters by Maurice Carlos Ruffin by Maurice Carlos Ruffin:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Historical Fiction / Coming-of-age
Gritty and Compelling
Key Point: The story line spends a significant portion of it depicting Ady in her childhood. While this helps readers understand Ady, the book synopsis indicated to me that it would mainly be about her activities with the Daughters.
