I loved this book from page one. I love that the two main characters are a black man and a white man whose sons were married. These fathers have criminal pasts in common as well as the burden of not having loved or respected their gay sons before they were killed. The story of their attempt to find who murdered their sons develops along with their growth and awareness of what it means to love unconditionally and to be an ally. It’s a fast paced novel that I enjoyed throughout and finished quickly. I praise the author for a job very well done.
