A few years ago a friend asked me if I I told a friend that I have it I wish I read the book the moment that’s why told me to read it. I’ve always been drawn to stories of sister home. I’ve always been drawn to stories that includes ancestral magic. Cypress reminds me of a young woman who is on her journey of self-discovery and is excited about it. In the go although I want more chapters of her is a young woman has a directly to the magic around her storytelling and and sexual magic. And if memories serve me well, sassafras is just trying to remain true to herself while also being tempted by things that are not good.


I think this is a story that I want to read again. I love being in the minds of the sisters. But I also thought it was interesting how their upbringing and their mother often try to stay for who they are and force them to be in stereo typical roles of what it is to be a woman specifically what it is to be black woman.
