Call Your Daughter Home

Fantastic read, I give this book five well earned stars.

Call Your Daughter Home is a story about three women who should not have a thing in common but they do and they band together to change the course of their own futures. Retta is a loving house maid who has suffered so many losses but chooses to do the best by others. Gertrude suffers immense abuse at the hands of her husband and finally makes a change for the benefit of her daughters. Ms. Annie Coles is the matriarch of her family and despite the loss of a child and the distance set between her and her daughters she finds a way with the help of Retta and Gertrude to make things right.

I loved the writing style of this story, you feel so empathetic and you really get a sense of the struggle each woman faces despite their social status. It's always refreshing to see that behind every man is a woman who has worked harder than one can imagine to keep her family thriving. The love told in this story is palpable and I shed tears when the characters finally see justice for the wrongs that have been done to them.
I appreciate that even though there are some really triggering issues in this book, such as molestation and domestic abuse, the writing is done in a classy way and not at all in a crude manner. You know wrong is being done and you see the flip side of the abusers getting their day in court so to speak.

Just a fantastic book and a touching story.
