Dynamics and relationships are explored as the reader gains insight into how each character made it to this night. This novel tells the complex and diverse stories of love and sacrifice between Melody&#8217;s grandparents, parents, and Melody herself. These poignant stories are interspaced with necessary passages tackling tough issues including, race and privilege. This is truly a beautiful story I could relate to and felt it in my core.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5\/5 stars Iris was 16 when she became pregnant with Melody.
