In her debut novella, Yesterday Mourning, author Renita Bryant weaves a heartfelt and touching story of love, loss, forgiveness and healing.Yesterday Mourning is a poignant tale that follows two women as they struggle to reconcile their separate yet shared troubled family past that forever binds them together. It is a powerful and compelling tale that takes the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride, yet leaves them wanting more.The author easily draws the reader into Yvette and Vera's lives, you can't help but become invested as their family story unfolds, you'll feel the full gamut of emotions, and it will give you much food for thought towards your own family relationships.This is an inspirational, honest, and raw story that wraps itself around you as you delve into the complex and complicated dynamic of Yvette and Vera's family. Through the drama and emotional turmoil of their pasts, their struggle to reconcile and move forward in their lives is breathtaking as they are taught life lessons about loss, love, forgiveness, healing, and redemption.As I read this beautifully written story, I couldn't help but reflect upon my own family relationships. I recognized a similarity in the dynamic of my own family relationships that touched my heart, and left an imprint on my soul. I don't think that anyone will come away from this story without feeling some emotional connection.Yesterday Mourning is an amazing story with a thoughtful and soul searching message that will stay with you long after the last words have been read.Disclaimer: I received a copy of the book from the author in exchange for my honest review.
