Acts of Forgiveness by Maura Cheeks
4.0

Thanks to the publisher for the gifted copy.

A family grapples with their unknown lineage when a reparations law passes. I loved the exploration of "inheritance" or the lack thereof for Black Americans—including no generational wealth, missing parental figures, or fractured family history. The idea of a forgiveness act is fascinating, but I wish to have more character development and the aftermath of the reparations law.
