Review: Miss Pearly's Girls

Miss Pearly's Girls by ReShonda Tate Billingsley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Miss Pearly is sick and all she wishes is for her four daughters to return home and reunite. But the Bell ladies are each battling a past secret that is a deterrent to their reunion. Maxine, Leslie, Star and Stella must work through each of their past, their secrets and decide whether if holding onto past pain is more important than healing, than their future as a family.
Family dynamics come to play in this read and there was a lot to unpack in this tale. ReShonda tackled a lot of sensitive subjects with her skillful storytelling. I loved how this story focused on the power of the matriarch's love because it was their love for her that brought them home.
I think this would be a great book club read because it will open doors for a lot of discussion. So many secrets and buried truths that had to break free. Yes, lots of thought-provoking discussions.
Memorable Quote: "When you walk in happiness, negativity can't stay long."
