Wilkerson has crafted a beautiful story that spans generations of the Freeman family. Through the rich and well-developed storytelling. We learn of the trials, tribulations, and traumas that have occurred through the generations. Yet through these interwoven narratives there is hope, love, understanding, Faith and inspiration. I recommend this story to those that love to be drawn in from the beginning.
