This was a really heartfelt coming of age novel about three sisters and a mother who are all searching for who they are, and how to start over after the peacemaker in the family passes away unexpectedly. The title of this book also just fits everything this story has to tell. After the death of her husband, Charlotte has no idea how to proceed in life. Moses kept the family running, the girls in line and peace in the house. The peace has gone out of the house and when Charlotte makes an unfathomable decision, the three girls find themselves raising themselves. As signs emerge, the community quietly does what it can to step up and help them where they can but when the oldest, Joanna gets herself in a situation that will be impossible for the three of them to continue on their own. Their grandmother agrees to take them in, so off the girls head to Mississippi unsure of what awaits them and carrying a lot of anger for being forced to leave the only place they have ever known. But sometimes going back to where it all began is what needs to happen to right things in life again. This story had so much depth and so many storylines that just kept adding to the story and characters. I really enjoyed the girls and am looking forward to more by this author. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. Thank you to JustRead Tours for the invite.
