In the vein of Jesmyn Ward’s Salvage the Bones and Sue Monk Kidd’s The Secret Life of Bees, a coming-of-age novel told by almost-eleven-year-old Kenyatta Bernice (KB), as she and her sister try to make sense of their new life with their estranged grandfather in the wake of their father’s death and their mother’s disappearance.

Audiobook version.
This has the potential to be a great book. It felt like narrator was recording her very first read of the material.
The phrasing was sometimes awkward, the cadence was off, and the whole experience felt stiff. It was bad enough that I couldn't finish it.
I liked the story and the writing enough that I'll get a hard copy.
