The second book in a great series that features the struggles of adulthood; infertility, work, racism, and love. The uncertainties are palpable.

This was a solid sequel with strong character development and a great storyline. The relationships were well-crafted and the conflicts were believable. I can‘t wait to see what happened to these characters in the next book!
