LOVED this book. I liked all of the characters, really appreciated their growth and determination. Samuel's use of 4 women in different stages of life and love represented a "whole woman" and I thought it was a perfect picture of womanhood. The style is also accessible, and the book well-written.
In The Goddesses of Kitchen Avenue, Samuel tells the story of Trudy (whose is separated from her husband after finding out he was having an affair, Jade (who returns to her grandmother's house after the death of her grandfather), Roberta (Jade's grandmother who just lost her husband) and Shanelle (who is having trouble with her husband accepting her desire to be a writer). The women support each other, grow and learn from each other, and seek out fulfillment in things that will make them a better person--and by default a better wife and mother.
Highly recommended.
