This one had me in tears most of the time, angry at other times but always sympathetic with this young woman who believed the lies told to her by an angry vindictive jealous woman who could not see the good in this child for resenting that her mother somehow loved the child and the child's mother. The story line takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions that don't really settle down until you find out all there is to know, make peace with what you cannot conceive of and progress past the things you have absolutely no control over. Honestly, I read the author's three books prior to this one and was bowled over. This book was no exception nor did it disappoint me. I cannot wait for her next book to drop. Pick this one up folks I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I did.
LaShonda Bowman is truly gifted.Her books make me ... laugh out loud ... cry out loud ... they flow beautifully.Just when u think you know ... BAM! ... she introduces a major plot twist full of surprises.I highly recommend ALL of her books
I loved the story of Robin, Makayla and Marcus. The story gives you Faith that God is taking care of you when you're at you lowest point. God has a blessing just waiting for us even if we can't see it. This book gave me hope and helped me to understand that God has everything under control.
It took a while to get into this book, but I stayed the course. I found two books in one as I got closer to the end. I'm still a fan of Ms. Bowman, but this book is not among my favorites. This author still has a way of connecting you with the characters. Although a very small part of the book, Mr. Jones is one of my favorite characters. If only to be in his kitchen, lol. Be blessed!
Poor Robin always wants to help others not realizing the very person she's trying to help wants to ruin her life. But God works all things well and instead of ruins God blesses and restores broken hearts for His glory
Wow! what can I say--love it and enjoy the book until the end. I honesty hope that my next book be as good as this one --and a rarely gives reviews but I had to let you know that this book and story is excellent.
I really enjoyed the Langston girls stories and read all three books within a couple of days.But this book just seemed to drag on and on. At one point I just wanted to tell Mikayla to wake up! People are there to help you but she couldn't get past her pain to take the help that was being offered. I am three quarters of the way through and now just tired of "poor Mikayla". The author could have wrapped up this book in chapter 30 - I'm now up to chapter 46 and doesn't look like it will ever be over.
When I started this book my first thought was, "Oh, no, here comes another 'seeking revenge' story that ends up with everyone hunky dory and all buddies." I figured the writing would be so predictable that I would roll my eyes, shake my head and read something else.But as the story progressed, the characters blossomed into interesting people involved in mysterious and intriguing circumstances. While written with a sense of reality, the protagonist and those who revolve around her tale are not treated as anything less than real people with real emotions, real personalities and the author weaves their lives together in a tale that touches the heart with sadness, frustration, hope and joy. That this story honors people of God in a way that casts a positive light on their imperfect comings and goings is truly a delight.I began this book and finished this book in one sitting; I could not let go. I completely surrendered to the story and found myself entwined in this tale of someone whose life was so damaged by so many others' poor decisions and behaviors, that it was good to see that at the end of the story, life was still not perfect but nonetheless brought in surrender to God's will and there were expectations of hope moving forward.I super enjoyed this story. I appreciated the writing, it was very moving and the conversations were written with a true reflection of the character at hand. Honest depictions of real life people just trying to make it through life together in the tough times and the good. I loved it.
