Miss Pearly's Girls

Written by ReShonda Tate Billingsley

Narrated by Patricia R. Floyd

From award-winning author ReShonda Tate Billingsley comes an intriguing, heartfelt tale about long held family secrets, truths that won’t stay hidden, and how facing the ultimate loss can force us to find our own ways to make amends and heal …

Raising four very different daughters on her own in rural Arkansas wasn’t easy for Miss Pearly Bell. And she’s always regretted that the sisters went their separate ways—and never wanted to see each other again. But when Pearly is stricken with
a terminal illness, she summons them all home, determined to somehow help them get right with each other and forgive. … But that means dealing with past secrets and lies first.

As the oldest sister, pastor’s wife Maxine took her responsibility way too seriously—and never fails to judge everyone else. But a secret she can no longer keep will explode everything she stands for. Youngest sister Leslie is all about making a very different life with her new love—but she didn’t expect
a shattering past truth to be suddenly revealed and uproot everything she ever thought she knew. Elegant PR professional Stella and her earthy twin, Star, don’t see eye-toeye on anything—and now a long-ago deception could wipe out their last chance at a relationship.

Soon each sister must confront the illusions they’ve taken refuge in for so long and deal with each other woman-to-woman. But can building an all-too-fragile trust repair the damage done—and help them come together when they are needed most?

Wow what a ride!!! I loved the book. Drama and secrets. Most importantly, relatable

[Dannie KJW · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book was a really good read. It shows us how deep rooted traditions of the saying “what happens in this house, stays in this house” can have a huge impact on the people in your families. It creates secrets, which becomes lies.

[Keshia Jones · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Took a few chapters to get to the plot , but the book addressed a lot of the dysfunction, trauma, and secrets that families deal with. There were resolutions and happy endings which held my interest.

[Patrina Roberts · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This heartfelt book shows how secrets can destroy a person and family. The old Cliche "What goes on in the house stays in the house." Is a trap and a stronghold to all that will be effected directly and indirectly. This book demonstrates this loudly in the lives of the Bell sisters. However, the power of unveiling truth is present as well. The forgiveness, compassion, love, and accountability took center stage once secrets did not have anything to hide behind.
