This misadventure, his second life, proves a dismal failure that sends him back where he came from to confront his now-grown-up sons disastrous relationships with his own family, including Granges granddaughter, Ruth Copeland, a child that Grange grows to love. Love becomes the substance of his third and final life. He spends it in devotion to Ruth, teaching and protecting herthough the cost of doing so is almost more than he can bear.

I was just adding some information to my cool Bibliophile planner when I noticed that today was Alice Walker‘s birthday! Happy birthday Ms. Walker!!! Thank you for the amazing voice you bring to our lives and for coining the term “womanist! 🎈🎈🎈

“He had enslaved his own family, given them weakness when they needed strength, made them powerless before an enemy that stood beyond him. Now when they thought of “the enemy” their own father would straddle their vision”

This book was so hard to read and the ending didn‘t feel “finished”. It was sad but I can appreciate the character development in Ruth‘s grandfather even if his actions alone started the downwards spiral of his entire family.

I just couldn't do it. The domestic abuse was too triggering. There were almost 200 more pages to go, and it wasn't letting up, and I already wanted to gouge out my amygdala. I really hate PTSD.
