Synopsis

Tina Finn was standing at the edge of her mother's newly dug grave when she first heard about her inheritance. Until this moment she'd been scraping by, living from one paycheck to the next. But all that was about to change.

Goodreads review by Diana

On audiobook. I probably liked this more than it deserved to be liked. I read it after reading Homegoing and Underground Railroad pretty much back to back, both of them Big Serious (and seriously good) Books about Oppression and Racism and Slavery, and I needed something kind of light.
