The novel “Family Sins” tells a tantalizing story which the author promises will keep readers turning pages without a break. The book is available on paperback and Nook and Kindle.The novel, which mainly tackles social issues, such as drug and substance abuse, is a young adult literary work of fiction that has quickly become a favorite among chick-lit fans as well.
The novel stars a sixteen-year-old Kat Menninger. Her mother died while she was seven, leaving her in the care of an abusive, drunk father in a shack in Longview, West Virginia. When Kat is busted shoplifting dinner at a convenience store, local cop Ed Stein gives her a choice: do time, or enter a program for troubled youth, assisting the elderly. She chooses the latter, and is paired up with Delilah Grand, a former Vegas showgirl with crippling arthritis.
Once Kat begins to feel safe in Delilah’s home, she changes her dark, grunge look back to the original bright, blonde girl she was, and stops skipping school. She also lands a part-time job at a local bookstore and befriends a co-worker who eventually asks her out. Her newfound confidence is lost, though, when a routine locker search at school yields a copious amount of marijuana. Will running away land her in more trouble than Delilah or even Ed can help get her out of this time?
As Kat befriends Delilah and cleans up her act, she stumbles upon clues that all is not as it seems. Someone is going to great lengths to keep her from discovering the truth, and the deeper she digs, the closer she is to danger.
