"Everything we struggle through has a purpose. That's what God's Word says. We have to take the good and bad and the bitter and sweet."
In Bitter and Sweet, Rhonda McKnight uses two timelines to allow readers to build relationships with a South Carolina family whose women forge bright futures for their children in the face of big challenges. As in her 2023 release The Thing About Home, this story has family, food, faith, and forgiveness as its cornerstones.
I was quickly drawn into the contemporary storyline with sisters Mariah and Sabrina, and appreciated learning about their great-great-grandmother Tabitha through letters she left behind. The mouth-watering food descriptions, swoony heroes, memorable secondary characters, and mentions of Gullah Geeche culture added rich texture of this story.
I enjoyed the audiobook narrated by Joniece Abbott-Pratt, Angel Pean and Lynnette R. Freeman
