"Lyons delivers the history of a song that has inspired generations of African-Americans to persist and resist in the face of racism and systemic oppression. . . . A heartfelt history of a historic anthem."--Publishers Weekly Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us.Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us. In Jacksonville, Florida, two brothers, one of them the principal of a segregated, all-black school, wrote the song "Lift Every Voice and Sing" so his students could sing it for a tribute to Abraham Lincoln's birthday in 1900. From that moment on, the song has provided inspiration and solace for generations of Black families. Mothers and fathers passed it on to their children who sang it to their children and grandchildren. Known as the Black National Anthem, it has been sung during major moments of the Civil Rights Movement and at family gatherings and college graduations. Inspired by this song's enduring significance, Kelly Starling Lyons and Keith Mallett tell a story about the generations of families who gained hope and strength from the song's inspiring words. --A CCBC Choice

Worth the wait!
Format: Kindle
I've been anticipating this book for so long and even reread the last one to get my mind back in that world. I was not disappointed. Valerie and Abby were perfectly paired in every way. Their chemistry was so apparent from that first time kneeling in the park. And their emotions felt so real, like you've felt what they're experiencing before. And Francesca, the antagonistic, really infuriates you to the point of wishing things that probably shouldn't be wished on to another person. But that's how you know a character is well written, when they can illicit such emotional responses from the reader. And my god, did this book have emotions from passion to playfulness and even hurt, but in the end, these two women stand strong and stronger together for what they go through. And I can't forget to mention Hazel who was just so stinkin' cute!
The only critique I have was Abby's friend Erin, who, at the beginning didn't seem the most supportive and kind of judgy despite her own odd situation with her bf Dan. I actually thought Abby and Erin were going to have their own conflict from the vibes at the beginning. But then Erin was quick to defend Valerie without knowing anything about her on a personal level because Abby signed an NDA and Erin didn't really know anything about their intimate realrionship or what Abby went through at the house since she didn't really disclose much. I guess she could have done so off page and, maybe I'm misremembering, but it didn't seem obvious that Erin would've known Valerie was a good person so I'm just wondering why she would want to push them together. We know she was being supportive technically because WE know Valerie's intentions, but SHE doesn't know, and ABBY doesn't know, so from Abby's perspective, it just seems like more of Erin supporting other people over her. If it were my friend coming to me saying all the things Abby thought she heard and understood from her perspective during the 3/4 conflict, there's no way I'd be encouraging her to give Valerie another chance or be on Valerie's side even a little.
It was such a minor issue even though, yes, I know I wrote a paragraph, but still, an almost insignificant annoyance that didn't sway my overall opinion. Just an afterthought that made me think about how Abby deserves all the support she should've had with her own family.
Again, so worth the wait because I love this author and the characters she comes up with and the worlds she builds around these people. Health is so important and comes first so I would wait a decade for the next one. I'm so pumped to see who's up next in this friend group because I know there's another beautiful relationship waiting to unfold. Bring it on, Anna!

At Her Service
Format: Kindle
Another brilliant book by Anna Stone. I truly enjoy her books. The give and take in her characters is a delight to read.
The secondary characters are well developed and added to the storyline.
The angst was done well. The resolution was beautifully done.
I always look forward to a new book by Anna Stone, and it usually goes to the top of my tbr. I will continue to follow her.

How do you control another woman? Just like this!
Format: Kindle
Anna Stone has written a thrilling very hot and sexy love story. I was grabbed by the end of the first page and did not put it down until the last period! There are so many things to build the anxiety; childhood trauma, a total need to be dominated, job stress, and that went to both MC’s, and then there was a stalker added for good measure. As often as my heart swooned, and my imagination took over … honestly this story is good!

Instant love
Format: Kindle
This is typical Anna Stone writing which means it is very enjoyable but will follow very similarly to her other books. Valerie and Abby have an instant connection so no build up really. The drama with the ex was introduced but not played up enough. Most of the drama with Valerie seemed to be handled like background info and fixed off screen. Same with Abby and her family issues like it’s mentioned but miraculously better at the end. I had high hopes for this but I’m really not into the instant love trope. I do recommend if you are a fan of the author.
