Virginia Lanier's She Didn't Know She Was Loved is a book about love, betrayal, and selfishness. Ellen, known as Sister, is born and given out for adoption by her mother. Sara Jones adopted her. Every member of Sara's family loved Sister. She grew up and married Bate, but she just kept messing around with other men in her marriage. Sister demonstrated numerous times how selfish and inconsiderate she could be. She was unconcerned about other people’s feelings, including her husband and children. Her selfishness got the best of her. Was this all there was to Sister? Were there other parts of her that the Jones' were yet to encounter? Find out in this thrilling tale.

She Didn't Know She Was Loved is a captivating read. It contains a wealth of valuable lessons to be learned from its main character's experiences. I learned that no matter how good or horrible a decision is, it always impacts our close family and friends. It might either affect them in a good or bad way. We must pay attention to the needs and sentiments of those close to us.

I like how the plot revolves around black people and their familiar ways of life. For instance, Saul takes the homemade straw broom and sweeps away his footprints out to the handmade wooden gate. This is so that he will know if his granddaughter went there while he was away. That's a classic black folk style, and it's both stunning and amusing to see.

The book was impressively brief and enjoyable to read, even though the writer was not sufficiently descriptive in some parts of the story. It looked like he was trying to summarize the whole story. Some of Sister’s boyfriends barely had much written about them. I could think of it as a result of not wanting to terrify readers with many pages. Everyone over 18 and interested in family-centered stories (rich in life lessons) would enjoy this book.

One issue of significant concern was the structure of the book. There were no chapters. The book was divided into three parts. However, each part was a long narrative with no breaks. Getting a breather was challenging; other readers might feel the same way. Breaking down thoughts into chapters would have helped the narrative.

She Didn't Know She Was Loved was professionally edited, and the language was simple to read and understand. The author did an excellent job of conveying the story. Apart from a few issues, the book was fascinating. However, considering the concerns, I'd rate it a 4 out of 5.
