Generations Intertwine Joyce K Gatschenberger

In this follow-up to Lines of Listening, a memoir detailing generations of child abuse and marital discord, author Joyce K. Gatschenberger offers readers a fictional continuation of an already gripping ancestral drama.



William and Kaye Henry have what, on the surface, looks like a good marriage. Together, they raised three children, and they have a bright granddaughter, Dove-Whispering, whose inquisitive spirit will prove to be heartbreaking-yet redemptive.



After William's death from cancer, it's discovered that he was involved in multiple affairs through his two-decade-long military career. In fact, when he retired and took a civilian job out of state, one such relationship resulted in an illegitimate child, Dacia. William took his secret-and the knowledge of a hidden bank account-to the grave.



Incredibly, Dacia and Dove-Whispering meet in high school-while working together on a fortuitous genetics project that becomes a posthumous indictment of William's betrayal.



Like strands of DNA, William's double lives eventually become so intertwined that his secrets come to light. William may be gone, but the shocking truth will affect generations to come.
