Synopsis

The twelve stories in BONDS OF LOVE & BLOOD follow men and women at crossroads in their lives. Set in Canada, Istanbul, Mexico, Prague, Thailand, and a Baltimore jail, the stories bear readers around the world and home to a farm in Maine. Join a young girl whose father is on a secret mission, a mother determined to find her missing son, and a young carpenter trying to figure out how he can get from the life he has now to one he can't quite imagine.
