A little chewier than I expected based on the cover and what a strong debut! Cheeks does a beautiful job with developing Willie's character and exploring all the different facets of her life as she's navigating things with the Forgiveness Act.

Thought-provoking & compelling from start to finish, Cheeks‘ debut novel is an impressive one. In a deliberately vague time, the US government & its citizens consider a Forgiveness Act to pay reparations to those directly impacted by slavery. Through the lens of one family this is explored in depth. With heart, great characters & plenty of talking points, this fictional exploration makes for a provocative read! Can‘t wait for more from the author!

The Forgiveness Act is looking into giving reparations to African American families for the atrocities suffered during slavery.

The Revel family is one of the many families looking to qualify for this benefit. And what follows is a look into past and present generations and how the steps you take in life can deeply affect those around you, how your family's history can find you and shape you where you least expect it.

Loved!
