[Frum Books]

After her new daughter-in-law begs to learn about the family’s history, Mirel reflects on the stories, journeys, and long-buried wounds that form the foundations of a family. A struggling Rav, his son tricked into a bitter marriage, twins fighting for survival who can’t agree on their future, a teen struggling to fit into Bais Yaakov of the 60s, her misunderstood son, and a dangerous friendship. Through heartwarming moments and character-defining struggle, the roots come together to form a strong and sturdy family.

Don't get the hype about this book in my community. It reads easily and has some well-developed scenes, but no well-developed characters.

Literally best book ever. So incredibly well written. No other words, I'm speechless.

She is a great writer that keeps your attention. It is a great book from different point of views. It wasn't what I expected but was pleasantly surprised. It made you feel what the characters felt!
