I'm dizzy. This story was like an attempt to answer a riddle. Something like : if Theresa's grandmother is my daughter's mother, how many pencils could you eat before you get lead poisoning. The story did trigger an audible gasp from me which rarely happens. That alone earns it 4 stars.3.5 stars...Ignore the cover, there is nothing erotic/sexy about this one. I think it's misleading to categorize this book as romance at all. The relationship between Stephen and Ruthie is romanticized in a coming of age sort of way but this is high drama with a bit of mystery thrown in for good measure.

A Great Story- BRAB Online Book ClubI read this book in a few hours. This book was recommended in a few bookclubs but so have others, but this one left me speechless. It had so many twist and turns, I didn't know what to expect or say except that it's intriguing and wonderful.Ritchie and Stephen grew up together but their relationship was always considered taboo.

Loved this one. Most of the characters were believable. The ending was not exactly predictable, but, that's what made it so great. Great read!
I just finished this book. All I can say is OMG regarding the Ending!!!!
This was a challenge read and is not at all my usual genre. For about 3/4 of the book I thought it was enjoyable yet fairly predictable.Then bam!!! Everything flips. Well written, dealing with the drama that was that time in history in regards to interracial relationships. I felt like the story was missing some undeniable emotion that gives you real insight into the characters but because it was written in a story telling fashion we never got any other points of view. I wanted more but was still
I read this book in 6 hours. All I can say is WOW! I highly recommend this book, its one of the best I've read in a long time. I picked it up because I can relate to the main characters and their interracial relationship, families that aren't exactly accepting, and the negativity that goes along with it in certain places. This book is so much more than that! I fell in love with the characters from the start, this book sent me through a roller coaster of emotions. A few times I stopped reading
