The Secrets that Killed Her Soul

Broken home. Broken trust. Broken dreams. Even though the cards dealt in life don't seem fair, the game must still go on. Roadblocks may be at almost every turn, prolonging arrival to the desired destination. Rachel's roadblock was her own family. To describe them as dysfunctional would render a disservice to the word. The roots of her lineage are deeply entrenched in violence, anger, jealousy, sexual deviance, and even murder. Rachel is convinced that tragedy follows her, from growing up in her North Philadelphia home which doubled as a brothel ran by her mother, to meeting the love of her life only to discover he's not the man she thinks he is. All the while, she must carry the weight of these family secrets, desperately searching for an end to the trauma. Through the heartache and pain, Rachel must persevere to strip herself of her family's shadow. Peace is the prize. But will she find it, or will these secrets continue to wither her soul away?
