In my novel “Former Things” this fact becomes clear in the narrative of what happens when mother Emily Preston keeps a family secret from daughter Nicole. A 20-year-estrangement results until the two come face to face after a disaster nearly claims the daughter's life. Family estrangement is becoming epidemic in our culture. By writing the book I hope to propagate a seed called forgiveness. Gail Lowe, Author of “Former Things” – available on amazon.com
