Three Girls from Bronzeville by Dawn Turner moved me. This memoir about sticking together through the ups and downs of life struck a number of emotional chords. Lives that begin together can diverge in many ways, but with love and patience, they can also converge again. Thank you, Ms. Turner for writing this. Highly Recommended.
