Set in the foothills of the Eastern Cascade Mountains, in Washington; this is a fast paced fictional and raw account of three generations of women in one family who endure: HARDSHIP, PHYSICAL & MENTAL ABUSE, RAPE, DECEIT, JEALOUSY, MURDEROUS RAGE, LOVE & ROMANCE. CAUTION: THIS BOOK CONTAINS EXPLICIT SEX AND VIOLENCE At the age of 17, pregnant, married, and estranged from her family, Margery finds herself transplanted to Charabourgh, a small logging town in the woods of Washington State. When she dies at the age of 77, she leaves her papers and letters to her daughter, Mary. Mary finds the journals her mother had written, stashed away in a trunk; she begins to read and is often surprised and sometimes shocked by what they contain. The hardships and abuse her mother endured, and the crime she committed for the survival of her children, make Mary aware of how fortunate she was to find and marry John so many years earlier. Her brother Stuart, his wife Joan and daughter Ellen are also impacted by Margery’s journals, often in very different ways. Ellen’s steamy yet tragic love affairs lead her on a path of her own, and she receives help from a very unexpected source. A ‘MUST READ’ for MATURE women everywhere!
