I started this on the recommendation of a colleague, but didn't get past the first 3 "stories". First, Hattie's twins die of pneumonia. Then, far in the future, her jazz-playing son questions his sexuality. By the time her badly burned and disfigured son wrestles with his faith and chosen path as a preacher I was longing for a different story. I don't often give up on books halfway, but I couldn't wait to swap this for something else. It just wasn't my kind of book. Sorry, Ayana Mathis!
