Too Much Is Happening In This Novel
I expected this book to come together with its various storylines but there seemed to be too much going on at once. The book presents the mystery of Alice's sister Rosie, the back and forth with the family's involvement with the NNAS integration vs. segregation efforts, and the Campbell family's local business relationships. There's a good amount of detail related to the various subplots but not enough depth. I read this book waiting for a big climactic resolution that never came. It's an average novel that starts off with an intriguing look at how a family and a community are impacted by the Civil Rights Era's pros and cons of segregation vs. integration but doesn't quite deliver.
