Synopsis

This work of literary fiction explores the dark side of family relationships. Romance noir defiles the pages paralleling the plight of Love Canal. As the nuclear age dawns on Upstate New York, the region careens into a new era with little care for the working poor.

The narration hops from family member to family member across time weaving a curse.
