Award-winning novelist Tayari Jones delivers a story based on the 1979-1980 Atlanta child murders.

As a history junkie I loved this book. I never heard nor knew about the Child murders in Atlanta. Ms. Jones incorporated three different viewpoints during that era. The fear, was tangible. Not much has changed, no media coverage for black or brown kids missing or even when they're found dead. Hearing a child's recollection of events does something my soul. Hug and love upon your babies, this cold world isn't kind. #Book2of2021 #bookworm #whatsnext
