I’ve been searching for this book since the day I left it behind!
My family and I were renting a beach house and they had a ton of books on the shelves, so I randomly grabbed one and started taking it to the beach with me since I didn’t have one of my own.
It was about an African American family told from multiple viewpoints. Each chapter was from one of the different siblings. It mentioned modern (for 2009) and took place in the US. I got about halfway through before we had to leave, and I never wrote down the title!
The beach house might be helpful context, since folks usually throw their old / “one step away from the garbage” books on the shelves just to fill the space. I doubt it actually was a new release during the time of our trip.
I have no info on the cover, or even words that may have been included in the title. I’ve asked AI so many different times and different ways, so hoping to get some help here 🙂
