This is book 2 in a series centered on brothers and the impact of their childhoods (Hart’s especially) on their lives and loves.
This is a tough book to read. It addresses child sex abuse, racism, parental abandonment, child birth, corrupt police, etc.
It’s also a story about family, birth and found, what being in an equal partnership means, and love.

It was also nice to not only read a historical featuring a working class character, but really delve into the obstacles and classism such characters would face (especially one who is black, like Sam). This level of class consciousness is a rare treat. The side characters were so well-drawn and added to the cosy, found family vibe of the book. Despite the serious topics covered the overall tone was just sweetly domestic and heartwarming.
It wasn't a perfect book; there was a little too much time spent setting up the next book and the conclusion regarding the paintings seemed a little rushed. But I still adored every page.
