Book Synopsis

A twisty, dark tale of family dysfunction, secrets, and the obsessive love of a woman willing to do anything to be a mother ...

Alice White is many things: a dutiful daughter, a patient wife, a caring volunteer at a local nursing home. The one thing she isn't, after years of trying, is a mother.

Desperate for a child, she'll do just about anything to get the expensive fertility treatments she needs to conceive, even if that means putting up with her own mother's abusive treatment, her husband's casual cruelties, and her nosy neighbor's overbearing intrusions.

Giving birth to a beautiful baby girl, Lauren, makes it all worth it. Or so Alice thinks.

But just as Lauren prepares to leave the nest, Alice's long-kept dark secrets rise to the surface. Her perfectly crafted life threatens to come crashing down-unless she can protect her hidden truths and hold on to her daughter, at all costs.

Inspired by true stories of fertility fraud and complex mother-daughter dynamics, BLIGHTED is a dark tale of suspense, secrets, obsession, and toxic relationships that will keep you hooked until the shocking end.
