"Sins Of Thy Mother" by Niki Jilvontae

My Thoughts....

This read was indeed a sad literary fiction read for me.  It really left me thinking wow, how can a mother treat her children like that! I will say this author really know how to get and keep your attention with her descriptive well written dramatic 'emotional rollercoaster' story.  My heart hurts to read about all of the pain these children [Tisha, Terricka,and Sha] went through. ....from  'mental, physical, verbal to sexual abuse.  This title is so true to its name of the 'Sin Of Thy Mother.'  When will enough be enough for this Lewis family?  How and why did the system not protect these children?   Thank goodness we just may see some help coming so I will stop at this point and say you will have to pickup this good read up to see for yourself what all the author has planned for the readers.    

I was given this novel during the BWABC Literacy Festival on September 19, 2015 to read and give my honest opinion.  Thank you to the author for such a good read.
