Savannah never stop writing, both your books have been amazing . Your characters feel like real people , your stories have purpose that touches the soul . Both your books left me feeling changed in some way as a person like the stories will live within me forever . I highly recommend this book and your first to anyone who wants to have their heart strings pulled upon .

Amazing! I love how it touched on subjects that were “taboo,” for the time. It was gut wrenching and funny, and felt so real. I could hear their accents when the spoke and feel the scenery around me. I can’t wait to read the next book by this author.
