Unabridged Audiobook
Very good read
This is my last book of 2024, and it ended with a bang. This story gave me all the feels. Tabitha story gave way for Mariah and Sabrina. Like many Black families, the women are the matriarch and backbone of their families. They are the way makers, the ones who push through all the adversities and provide for their families despite the world telling them they can't and won't. I smiled throughout this story, especially after every battle defeated. I loved how the author went back and forth between their great-grandmother's past and their present. How their love for their Geechie Culture, cooking, and helping others. They had similarities just like we all would in our Genealogy Tree. Another plus is the author introducing therapy and showing that it's okay in our culture and how the elderly is more open to it than we think. You can pray to God and have a therapist! The way this family moved and developed generational wealth is everything. We are Strengthen when we are healed! The author also highlighted love, naivety, hope, forgiveness, therapy, preserverance, and post-partum depression. and so much more. #Book19of2024 #BookWorm #Whatsnext
I really enjoyed this book. It kept my attention the entire time and was a great story about perseverance and forgiveness. The narrators were also great!
Excellentread. I live in Charleston, South Carolina so making connections to the historical context, you referenced with your grandmother, and the modern day landscape of Charleston and Georgetown, SC was quite a journey through her compelling time travel storytelling.
Great insight.
I really enjoyed this story. A combination of contemporary and past timelines full of interesting and likeable characters. Very god-y but that was important for the characters. Would recommend.
I loooooved this book so much.
Amazing story! I have read Rhonda McKnight books before, but this one is a new favorite. The characters felt so real and relatable. And I loved the way everyone reached resolutions for their problems. Using the great grandmothers story to connect the women was also so great. I love stories with multiple settings. I’m going to read everything else from Rhonda McKnight now.
Good story. Engaging. Relatable characters. Satisfying ending. "Christian Women's Fiction".Excellent narration.
Bitter and Sweet is a story chock-full of southern culture, coastal nuances, and the rigor of relationships. This dual-time novel brings a lot to the table to be sorted out and laid to rest. It embraces the wisdom of the matriarch, sisters in conflict, loss of love and trust and the resilience we have when we hold to faith and family. It is Christian women’s fiction, with southern flair, at its best. I have to say that this story in audiobook is stellar. So, if you enjoy this format, this is a book that you will want to listen to. The use of multiple narrators created distinguishable characters and lent clarity to the dual-time frames and multiple POVs. This book is suitable for teens and older with no inappropriate intimate scenes and no bad language. I received this book from the author/publisher free of charge, with no expectation of a positive review.
