Sins of the Mothers — Saundra Crum Akers

Rita Carter surprises her therapist by insisting that she is her own Great-Great Grandmother. This forces the therapist to treat not just Rita, but her ancestors as well, as she tries to get to the bottom of Rita's problems in the present time. Sins of the Mothers is a fictional narrative inspired by true events. What we do in life matters to those who come after us even though we may think it is our business and we should be able to act any way we want. Our choices affect not only us, but will affect our children and those around us, as well as those who are born long after our time on this earth. We all make both good and bad choices just as the characters in this work of historical fiction do.
