Product Description:
Family Secrets. Three generations of one family share their intimacies with the world of the vampire. Inside the personal journals of the Harrington family a dark and dangerous odyssey unfolds. Three members of this tormented family, Samuel, his son Edmund, and Edmund's daughter Charlotte, struggle during the 18th and 19th century in London, England, as the lives of this family intersects with supernatural forces. Two intriguing vampires befriend, manipulate and play with all three souls, altering their lives forever. Their fears, private confidences, and weaknesses are revealed on the pages as one selfish act ends in horrific tragedy, with far-reaching consequences. Find out who succumbs to the seduction and danger of the vampire, and who grapples to combat the evil influence that permeates their lives. Content may not be suitable for children.

A. F. Stewart has written a novel of unleashed desires about the dark side of all our souls. Her capacity to give attention to an aspect of hidden desires and a soul's need to be known creates a opportunity for readers to explore themselves without judgement. Her ability to author a story allowing those who read it a safe place to give voice and understand a part of ourselves is commendable.
