Bettye Griffin is a master at crafting delicious relational stories. In this one she includes everything but the kitchen sink. There's love, humor, intrigue, sex, sin and a couple of juicy family secrets. This is the story of the Cheeks family: Julia, her husband Melvin and their children, Faye, who is married to Godfrey, Robin, who is divorced from Avaughn, and Scott, who is divorced from Lynn. The Cheeks are a loving, close-knit family, but when Robin attends her class reunion and reconnects with a former classmate and potential love interest, tightly-wound secrets that Julia has kept from her family for 55 years begin to unravel. Can you imagine? I'm sure you can and that's what makes her books so delectable. They revolve around relatable situations that stand the test of time. This is a lengthy read, but I guarantee that once you pick it up, you won't want to put it back down until you've devoured the entire story.
