I love Lynne Whitfield as the matriarch with some obvious issues, yet to be revealed I hope. As the series continues, I (dare I say it?) pray the writers become more confident and provide more realistic speaking styles.

As the series unfolds, wij learn there are many hypocrisies surrounding the Greenleaf family. Grace is not the only estranged family member.
