About:

Challenging perceptions of discrimination and prejudice, this emotionally resonant drama for readers of Lisa Wingate and Jodi Picoult explores three different women navigating challenges in a changing school district--and in their lives.

When an impoverished school district loses its accreditation and the affluent community of Crystal Ridge has no choice but to open their school doors, the lives of three very different women converge: Camille Gray--the wife of an executive, mother of three, long-standing PTA chairwoman and champion fundraiser--faced with a shocking discovery that threatens to tear her picture-perfect world apart at the seams. Jen Covington, the career nurse whose long, painful journey to motherhood finally resulted in adoption but she is struggling with a happily-ever-after so much harder than she anticipated. Twenty-two-year-old Anaya Jones--the first woman in her family to graduate college and a brand new teacher at Crystal Ridge's top elementary school, unprepared for the powder-keg situation she's stepped into. Tensions rise within and without, culminating in an unforeseen event that impacts them all. This story explores the implicit biases impacting American society, and asks the ultimate question: What does it mean to be human? Why are we so quick to put labels on each other and categorize people as "this" or "that", when such complexity exists in each person?

My Thoughts:

Katie Ganshert has a knack for writing books that dive straight into hot issues that our society faces today. I loved this book and I throughly enjoyed how Katie wrote this book. This book is impactful, though provoking and inspiring. This book has moments that are uncomfortable to read, but they are necessary and challenging. I would even say this book is heavy at times, but in a great way because this is a fiction book that will cause you to process. I loved every minute of it! The characters in this novel will win your heart over and you'll love this book. I cannot imagine for a second, that this book will not have some kind of award in the future. It is AMAZING! Make sure you pre-order this book because it will be flying off shelfs!
