3.0

This is a book about a woman in the depression-era South who would do anything to protect her family and their secrets. I liked most of the characters and thought Maggie’s voice was great but the second half kind of dragged for me. I was hoping for more suspense in trying to cover up the murders but aside from one fateful situation everything kind of goes without a hitch.
