I’m a sucker for books that follow families across long periods of time. even more so when things are complicated. i find that it gives me more time to connect with the characters and grow attached to them. for the most part, this book was no different. the storyline was really interesting and i was fascinated by the relationship between the two families. however, the events were a little more intense and darker than i anticipated and for the first time in a while i contemplated if what i was reading was too heavy. mary beth keene does a great job of portraying characters as real and flawed and as impressive and moving as i found it to be, it was challenging at times given how broken everything felt.

I loved this book and these characters, even though I didn't always like them or what they did.  Excellent storytelling.
