Wow, this book was raw. Like really raw. Some of the stories shed light onto some real shit that be happening behind closed doors. Pastors faking. Moms favoring. Children and daughters, not knowing themselves, but having to find themselves through other relationships. 9 deep stories. It kinda reminded me of 'For Colored Girls.' I do recommend.
