Already at the top of the Blackboard Bestseller List, this critically acclaimed new voice in African-American literature is both passionate and vibrant. In this, Kimberla Lawson Roby's second novel, strong characters explore the complexities of such real life issues as relationships, single parenthood, and infertility. Racquel and Marcella are sisters with very little in common, except that each wants what the other has.

Racquel has a beautiful house, a fulfilling career and a loving husband. But driven by her desperate longing for a child, she is alienating her husband and family. Marcella is a single mom, trying to support her two children with a low paying job, food stamps, and occasional child support from a deadbeat ex-husband. She won't allow anyone to interfere with her dream for a better lifestyle, not even her own children. Narrator Donna Bailey skillfully renders the emotionally powerful experiences of two women as they learn to accept their losses. Sometimes funny and often heartbreaking, their story touches listeners with a message of healing and hope.

The story was great. The narrator not so much. I almost wanted to trade for another book. The story was good enough to keep me wanting more.

At the start of this book I was a little concerned that I wouldn't enjoy it but it turns out that I was not dissatisfied. plenty of unexpected moments and I loved the ending. It's hard to find a good narrator. This one is pretty good.

Good read

Kimberla is an awesome story teller. She tells stories that are true to life, the characters are realistic, and the reader can actually feel the emotions each character experiences. This book takes a look into the lives of a family at they experience joy, love, pain, grief, reunions, heartbreak, and proud moments. Great read (listen).

Kind of depressing

I would have rated higher had I read this years ago, however, I rated based on how she evolved as a writer (character development in particular) over the years.

Early Kimberla

Ms. Roby is a very good writer. She developed her characters well in this book, providing a good balance between sisters whose their lives are both similar yet difference; the author demonstrates how their closeness supersedes animosity and jealousy as they love and support each other when the going gets tough. She shows how when it rains, it pours, but with preseverance and faith in God, their family survive adversity. Highly recommended reading!

A highly recommended reading!!

I wasn't expecting this book to be so emotional. I thought it was going to just be about the relationship between sisters. But maybe our expectations are always interrupted in real life. Love the narrator's voice. Very well done.

Get your tissues ready, ladies

There were no extreme surprises and I found the characters to be just like everyone I already know. I was happy with the outcome of Kevin and Raquel. I wish something had been written more about the Administrator at the end on the big day. Otherwise, I enjoyed it and look forward to maybe a bit of a more 'out of the hood' storyline next time.

Just like us...
