Blood of Their Sons

Grace is the first-born female and the keeper of her Grandmother's secrets. On her deathbed, MaeAlice must tell another secret -- the cost of their legacy as first-born females of first-born females of generations of first-born women. Grace's daughter is now pregnant with a boy. The knowledge of their heritage forces Grace on a spiritual journey to save the life of her daughter's unborn child. Chapter 1 ~ She wasn't dying fast enough. There was no money. No inheritance. No Trust. And just enough insurance to bury her. Maybe. She had nothing worth fighting over; they just wanted her dead. I am the product of MaeAlice, given her name--the one I changed because it conjured too much discontent. Required too much of me to overcome. And now refused me to forget. My grandmother and I were close, but it was closeness born of bitterness and despair. Hers came from her date with death, mine was resentment for the woman who gave me birth. I would learn that our pain was the same. It came from the source that blessed us with special gifts and cursed us with its cost. Because of this story I came to know that we all contribute to how life unfolds, given a thread to weave before time had a name. The tapestry we make is up to us, and yet, there is something at work beyond our own will, if not our own awareness. Whether we accept or distort our role in creation is a choice we make with every decision. Regardless of what we decide, each choice becomes a ripple across time.
