O knihe

From outward appearances, it seems like
the Leo and Margot Lockhart family of Little Falls, New
York, is a well-functioning and harmonious family unit. Yet
upon closer inspection, each heart in the home harbors its
secret of hurt, distrust, and disillusionment.

Katherine Lockhart's innocence and sensitivity as a child
are ruled by the iron hand of her Irish mother, Margot. Fear
of physical retribution controls Katherine's defiance during
her teen years, but her intellect resents and mentally
argues with the humiliation and responsibilities heaped upon
her as the eldest daughter of six siblings. Training for the
nursing profession is Katherine's salvation, and it is her
ticket out of Little Falls, away from her controlling mother
and alcoholic father.
When the moment of truth
presents itself, Margot fears exposure as a negligent wife
and mother which resulted in Katherine's childhood and
future years being forever compromised and emotionally
altered. Little Falls follows Katherine through the darkest
tunnels in life as she rises above the rape, incest, bouts
of depression, and physical and emotional abuse to
experience the love and joy of family as a respected
matriarch in her final years.
