| Publisher Description: If the Universe gave you the chance to deliver karmic justice, would you do it? Lynne Cantwell was the late-in-life child of parents who had already lost a baby daughter. Her brother, ten years older, delivered emotional and verbal abuse for as long as she could remember. As a young adult, she moved halfway across the country to escape him. Decades later, when their mother's health began to fail, Lynne was forced to work with her brother - first to keep their mother in their childhood home, and then to prepare the house for a sale that never happened. Everything changed, but the family dynamics stayed the same. This book - entertaining and heart-wrenching by turns - is a tale of the way abuse plays out across generations, and of what it takes to end it. |
