so-soThe first in a series set on Cape Cod, this one had a lot going on…and not all in a good way. Lots of nonessential info that could not even be described as red herrings. I‘d say more, but it may be considered spoilerish. Let‘s just say it‘s confusing. #Xander #CatsOfLitsy
pickHow awesome to have another Charmaine Wilkerson! I did get confused a few times about the timeline but overall, really enjoyed this. Wilkerson writes beautiful characters and moving stories.

pickI really enjoyed the way this story is told, something a little different with a lot of layers. It‘s about a major family tragedy and life afterwards. It‘s also historical fiction as we learn the story behind a piece of pottery that has been with a family for generations, from slave days to the present. I liked how everything was interwoven and how the reader gets different perspectives from various characters.
pickI sat on this review for a while,mainly because there were many voices in this book,some I wasn‘t sure were necessary.In this evocative book the past informs the present. When Ebby was 10, she witnessed her brother‘s murder, & the shattering of a several hundred years old clay jar, representing legacy & family connections.A decade or so later Ebby is stood up at the altar & she fleas to France, where she heals from her trauma.
