Karissa Vacker, did a lovely job with the narration capturing the emotions and accents as Brown transporting us to Birthright, Texas and introduced us to Miss Janie. Her pacing and tones enhanced this well-written story.

Sarah Jane Jackson known to all as Miss Janie has Alzheimer’s and is dying from cancer. She asks Noah, her nephew, to move in, handle her affairs and find her girls. It’s been ten years since Teresa and Kayla left Birthright. The tale that unfolds made me laugh, cry and wanting to hug those I love.

Miss Janie was a hoot, and everyone loves this woman. Teresa, Kayla and Noah each have baggage to overcome. Guilt for not calling & visiting, their own failures and fears, but time under Miss Janie’s roof has a way of mending things.

I loved the story that unfolded and found myself invested in the characters, developing romances and the people of Birthright, Texas. I wanted to pour a cold iced tea and join Miss Janie on the front porch for a spell.

Brown is a wonderful storyteller who brings her characters to life and makes the mundane and tragic beautiful. She weaves in her faith, but it isn’t preachy and felt genuine to her characters and their circumstance. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
