Adams, K: Par for the Curse

Stormy has grown up with the warning that she is cursed. Raised in a family of eight women with twenty-four husbands among them, she has managed to escape the family's legacy thus far. Things begin to change once she is given the details of a voodoo hex that was cast upon her great grandmother over eighty years ago. Managing the antics of her adulteress young cousin, Riley, exhausts Stormy. Comforting the heartbreak of her older cousin, Lourdes, angers her. After a devastating turn of events on par with her birthright, Stormy decides to seek a remedy for the family's plight. She travels to New Orleans determined to find answers. Along the way, she faces a quilt of obstacles and a set of choices that challenge her reality. Will she reveal the information or continue playing the hand she was dealt by an angry young woman in the Bayou?

Par for the Curse examines the impact of generational secrets on family life, and love.
