"Kinda sad. Good read."
— Sharonbrown (5 out of 5 stars)
“Family Ties is a sagacious revelation of society’s ills through the medium of fiction…Hill does a commendable job of mesmerizing readers while methodically building to the climax. We learn early the what, when, and where; it’s the who and why that take our breath away.”
