pickThemes: Family (especially sisters!), Ireland and NYC during 1950s to 2000‘s, Great storytelling!
I was hooked from page 1 of this beautifully written book 🥰 Mary Beth Keane has a gift for amazing storytelling and scenery setting; you‘ll shiver from the rain she describes and feel yourself warm up with her descriptions of drinking tea beside a roaring fire. A definite pick!!!
Why yes, I did “treat myself” to some tea after I cleaned up the kitchen post-dinner 😆👵🏼 Settling in for some ‘Finding Your Roots‘ with a little book reading on this crazy Tuesday night 😍🥰
pickHeartbreaking story about love and coming to the United States from all over Latin America.

pickI enjoyed this take on a Chinese family immigrant story.
Tony moved his family to the US from China looking for a better life. I really liked how the author weaved everyone‘s stories and there are some beautiful passages about family and loyalty (and some very thought-provoking ones about discrimination, sexism and racism) throughout the book.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
