Family Curse

A Moving Story of Revenge, Redemption, and Forgiveness
Domestic violence and alcoholism stalked three generations of the Byrne family, with Colin the latest victim. A successful Oregon winemaker who survived a near-fatal beating as a child, Byrne is a man possessed with learning why his father tried to kill him for no apparent reason 50 years before. After discovering a 100-year-old family secret that haunted generations, Byrne flies into a rage, promising revenge against the man responsible. Rather than soil his reputation as a humanitarian and ethical businessman, Byrne bribes a down-on-his-luck friend to do his bidding. When his illegal scheme goes awry, leaving one man near death, Byrne finds himself fighting for his own life a second time while his ultimate prize - breaking the family curse - slips away. Byrne needs a little more time to pull off his scheme, and then he'll be free and clear, with no evidence of his involvement in two major crimes.
