   Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.   ) camplakejewel | Sep 25, 2017 |  Who is the real Minerva here? This book takes us along for a ride with three women who seem destined to fail. Each must rise above their pasts. Who will survive and come out successful? These three women all show growth and development throughout the story. I wound up liking all the women in the end. They are all doing the best they can in a man’s world. I really enjoyed this one. It shows us that love and family can exist between people who are not related. The climax has an interesting twist and the ending is a good one. This is another book that would definitely be great for a book club. I give this one a 4 out of 5 stars. Why aren't there more reviews on this? It was definitely worth reading!!

I am planning on trying to find this author's first book and i hope she will write more. Loved The Vanishing Point.
