About This Book
The men they love will never love them. The men who love them, they will never love. These simple but ominous words describe the complex situation in the life of Stormy Briggs. The drama in Stormy's life is caused by a curse put on her great-grandmother, Lila, over eighty years ago. The heart line of Grandma Lila's palm was sliced in two which led to a life void of love and lasting relationships. Though her cousins Riley and Lourdes accept the lot they have been given in life, an unexpected event forces Stormy to return New Orleans to investigate the origin of the curse. Most time the secret that is meant to protect the family is the very thing that destroys it.
Par for the Curse
is unpredictable and not easily put into a box. Breaking the rules of
genre, the story manages to make us feel like we are entrenched in
reality, with drama that you only want to read about in books. This
story was written to shed light on how we often hurt our family members
with the best of intentions. Family secrets are most often meant to
protect loved ones but instead end up being painful baggage carried for
generations. Stormy is determined to rid herself and her family of the
curse and the baggage that came along with it.
"Indeed this is one of the best books I've
read so far in 2009."
