The dark, impenetrable bayous of Louisiana are filled with secrets that can never be revealed and mysterious forces that can never be understood. Nightmares live there. Jessica LeJeune left Louisiana, but she brought some of those mysterious forces with her--and now she's being called back to her Cajun roots to confront a destiny she could not escape and a curse she might not survive. Jessica's younger brother, Todd, has descended into a world of madness. His shattered mind is now the plaything of an unimaginable evil, an unstoppable entity with cruel plans for both Jessica and Todd. But Jessica is not alone in her battle to save her brother's soul. For deep in the misty bayous, in an isolated wooden shack, lives the one person who is their only hope... |

"The South has surely risen again in
the prose of emerging novelist, Deborah LeBlanc.... Be very afraid." --David Thomas Lord, author of BOUND IN BLOOD "Out of Louisiana folklore and a braided tale of diverse characters, Deborah LeBlanc forges an engaging, atmospheric mystery....Chilling and lyrical, this novel will make readers re-examine what's really behind life's twists and turns, and inspire them to read it again." --Katherine Ramsland, bestselling author of PIERCING THE DARKNESS and GHOST "A moody dark fantasy filled with subtle chills, memorable characters, and haunting events...a magical novel you won't soon forget." --Tom Piccirilli, author of A CHOIR OF ILL CHILDREN and THE NIGHT CLASS "In FAMILY INHERITANCE, author Deborah LeBlanc paints a picture so realistic--and terrifying--that we are literally holding our breath as the tension builds in each scene...." --Natalie R. Collins, author of WIVES AND SISTERS |

first short story was written in the second grade, a tale about a misfit
mermaid who grew legs. Admonished for writing the story instead of doing
an assigned arithmetic lesson, Deborah's teacher confiscated the pages,
and as recompense for not following instructions, gave her an additional
math lesson to complete. At the end of the school day, the teacher pulled
Deborah aside. Fearing that she might be forced to do additional math,
Deborah listened in amazement as the teacher told her she'd read the
mermaid story, thought she was a wonderful storyteller, and encouraged her
to continue writing. Though the pages of that story were never returned,
Deborah has been writing ever since. And she still hates math.
