I enjoyed this book about a Black woman who was in a physically abusive marriage and her life after she was brave enough to leave. The author is a beautiful storyteller and the narrator seemed like a perfect match for the text. I found myself writing a few quotes in my journal because the author is a beautifully lyrical writer.I would recommend this book to people that like to read those “woman reclaims her life” type stories generally featuring a 40+ female protagonist TW: lots of domestic violence with very descriptive details

I discovered Sheila Williams because of the Netflix movie Juanita. I thought the movie was good but wanted to read the book and she’s great!
