Providence Byrd is a woman with a violent past who gets a chance at redemption and ending the cycle of violence that has haunted her family for generations when her estranged mother disappears years later under suspicious circumstances . . .
Sharp and poignant, Every Sweet Thing Is Bitter is a stunning novel that eschews picture-perfect endings and dares to tell a story about a resilient queer woman and her relentless determination to persevere.
“A tale of redemption that’s as layered as the twists and turns and characters that populate the novel, Every Sweet Thing Is Bitter is a gritty mystery that’s as much about finding oneself as it is about finding a missing matriarch.” -- L. S. Stratton, author of Not So Perfect Strangers
