Bad Blood

By E. A. Owen

Mary calls her life a nightmare, but the pain has only begun—and Mary will not be the only victim. Mary was born into an idyllic family, her mother and father a storybook couple, but her parents were killed by a drunk driver when she was twelve. She grows up to marry a man who betrays her, and her teen daughter, victimized by a family friend, gives birth to twins.

And that is only the beginning of an entire family’s descent into a series of catastrophes that amount to more than can be blamed on just the ill-winds of fate, including the greatest sin imaginable, committed unwittingly and born of nothing less than true love.

Mary wonders how life can be so cruel early in the story, but when she is old she discovers both the complexity of the web of which she is a part and the terrible truth. The many characters’ relationships are revealed as fate brings the survivors together, some bound by blood and love and all of them bound by a curse.

This is a tale that will horrify you and pull at your heartstrings by turns. The main characters suffer in the extreme for reasons beyond their control, but they never fail to love one another.
