Romance Suspense

Old family feuds appeared laid to rest until a murder reopened the wounds. Stanton Youngblood is murdered, but he leaves behind a clue that points to the wealthy Wayne family. Leigh Youngblood is furious, vowing vengeance for her husband, as she knows one of her siblings is behind the callous murder. As the Youngblood family gathers together to support their mother, Bowie Youngblood also returns home to support his mother. Bowie loved Talia Champion and her refusal to marry him sent him far away from his West Virginia hometown. Will this horrible murder give Bowie and Talia a second chance at happiness? Meanwhile, a murderer lurks in the background...is the death toll going to rise higher? Sharon Sala imbues FAMILY SINS with a deep sense of love, family, and loyalty. The Youngblood family is tight knit, but it is their sense of morality and desire for true justice that shines through each and every page. Leigh's pain at losing her husband is only sharpened by the deep injustices that permeate the town of Eden, a town where the wealthy have taken advantage of the less fortunate far too often. I love the fact that Sharon Sala doesn't hesitate to include characters like Jesse or Talia's father in FAMILY SINS. We get to see the struggles that ordinary people face regularly as told with love, respect, and sensitivity. Sharon Sala shows us the quiet dignity that resides in these families, even as our hearts cry right along with them. FAMILY SINS tells a soul-wrenching story of love, heartache, and murder that is practically impossible to put down. Sharon Sala yanks at the reader's heartstrings with each and every poignant scene between Bowie and Talia. If you love emotional tales of love, family, and justice, then look no further than FAMILY SINS. Sharon Sala has yet another winner on her hands with FAMILY SINS!

SUMMARY

MURDER IN EDEN Felled by a cowardly shot to the back, Stanton Youngblood has just enough time before he dies to leave a single clue to his killer's identity: the word Wayne, scrawled in his own blood. That word means everything to his widow. Leigh Youngblood was once Leigh Wayne, but she left her wealthy family behind thirty years ago when she fell in love with Stanton, a betrayal the Waynes have never forgiven. Now she publicly vows to discover which of her siblings thinks money and power are enough to cover up a murder. Back in town to find his father's killer, prodigal son Bowie finds his search for justice comes with an unexpected ray of light. He's loved Talia Champion forever, but when she said she couldn't marry him, he left town and never looked back. This time it's Talia who needs him, and it isn't in him to deny her anything. But the killer still has a score to settle, and if that means spilling more blood—so much the better.
