This is my second novel by Pamela Stockwell, and, once again, she has written a wonderful small-town story with a memorable cast of characters.ย
We return to Magnolia Ave in South Carolina in 1972, where, yes, unfortunately, racism and sexism are still very much alive. Triss, a white woman who yearns to be an attorney, makes a grave mistake at work. Everlove is a young Black woman who walks away from her own wedding. When the two meet on the road, literally, they form an unlikely friendship and partnership.
I love stories with strong female friendships, and this was full of great moments. Triss and Everlove had their hands full with difficult family members and neighbors, a mystery to solve, and, of course, overcoming prejudices.
It was a delight to see the support these women gave one another, along with other women they welcomed into their circle. The fun, descriptive references to the โ70s and the included recipes in the back were an added bonus to this tender and satisfying read.
Thank you @suzyapprovedbooktours and @pamelastockwellauthor for a spot on tour and a gifted book.
