Runs in the Family

by Cynthia Lorraine

Overview

RUNS IN THE FAMILY is a collection of three fictitious short stories about family drama and the ties that bind individuals as families.

"Bedroom Deadlines" is a hilarious account of the growing pains in a mother-daughter personal coaching business. Daughter Samantha Blake's carefree management style is naturally at odds with the outdated practicality of mom and founder Annette Blake. The two must come together to save the business.

"Her Name Means Crown" is a story of reconciliation. Seventeen years ago, David Campbell, pastor of the fastest growing megachurch in Memphis, Tennessee, chose ministry over responsibility abandoning his first-born child. Together with his wife, Bernice, he devises a plan to reunite with his daughter by hiring her as their babysitter.

"Letters to Robert," tells the story of a woman's decision to give up her child for adoption forty years ago. Through the letters she writes to her son, Gertrude shares the angst of a heart-wrenching decision from conception, through the decision to keep the pregnancy, to the birth and adoption of her son, Robert.
