I thought of this book I reviewed for a book tour in 2018 because one of the 2 MCs, Delilah, is a black woman who faced racism & prejudice from a bi-racial marriage in the 1960s & an abusive spouse. Told in flashbacks & in present, Delilah is now. helping & sheltering other women with abusive relationships-like Tracey, running with her children from her abusive husband.

pickBeautifully written, touching book about two women running from the demons of their past who help each other find peace, confidence, and the willpower to move on with their lives.
pickI got caught up in this novel-set in the past & present-about friendship & a brave woman helping other women. There's mystery, historical fiction & romance too. Hits on tough issues-domestic violence, racism & bigotry & some aspects were predictable, but that didn't spoil the beauty of the story for me. Paired with Cara Cara Orange Marmalade on Toast & hot cocoa for my book tour review. Link to Review/Recipe & GIVEAWAY👇🏻

So she & this book work for two photo challenge prompts today. #multitasking
