For every family secret, Elsie Finch covets the truth. Consequences certainly come with being an heir of the Finch family estate, but consequences not even the parents contemplated. In their personal chaos, Richard and Gail Finch design their estate to carry ramifications for misplaced loyalties, but when a third generation aims for the cache, someone is expendable. Who wins this long game? Untying the family saga with blistering retaliations, someone will pay for the past. Richard and Gail's unscrupulous schemes spill across the geography of San Francisco Bay, Phoenix Arizona, Oklahoma City, finally slipping into the shadow of the Rockies. Certain poetry transforms Elsie's grief when honor is offered to the brave. Richard and Gail Finch designed their estate to carry consequences for their children's misplaced loyalties over a lifetime, but there are consequences neither one bargained for. When the third generation aims for a cache of treasure, someone is expendable. ************** Praise for Elsie Finch BookLife Prize: "Alluring and convincing, this multigenerational work has an unusual premise and there's a grandness to the scope. . . An epic accomplishment." "...brave and startlingly candid; Elsie Finch is lodged in my heart of hearts...Her character manages to explore the darker side of human foibles-while at the same time weaving in a bright thread of hope." - Kathy Hoffner, Editor "Some families leave legacies of positivity and gifts. Others leave behind angst and confusion. Lynn Byk writes with a lyrical hand that captures passion and emotion with equal aplomb." - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review ¿"It's a long healing for Elsie, as most of ours are. But in this courageous, unblinking portrayal of the human condition, Elsie gradually discovers truth, forgiveness, and hope practical and relevant to Christians and non-Christians alike. It's unconventional, this book-and the characters are still giving me pause." - Cheryl Bostrom, Author of SUGAR BIRDS "THE FEARLESS MORAL INVENTORY OF ELSIE FINCH by Lynn Byk is a bold, brutally honest multigenerational family saga that also offers opportunities for introspection on matters regarding family relationships and how our actions influence and impact others around us. "The story also offers important discussions about how dysfunction, trauma, and personality disorders affect a family. Readers will benefit from its many essential life lessons including its deft coverage of the effects of parental favoritism and sibling rivalry. Lynn Byk's compelling novel is a remarkable work. It is cleverly written." - Edith Wairimu, Readers' Favorite "The work of a peacemaker is not easy. The narrative is soothing, the timeline is perfect, and the pace, remarkable. The Fearless Moral Inventory of Elsie Finch is riveting and fascinating. I was obsessed with this story and highly recommend it." - Rabia Tanveer for Readers' Favorite
Autorenporträt
ELSIE FINCH is the result of a curious mind. Author LYNN BYK enjoys being a wallflower journalist circulating through the corners of a room allowing a story to unfold at will. She doesn't flinch in setting forth the details though they might conflict with a given setting. In her way of presenting the angles, she is a nonconformist of Christian authors and literary writers alike. The author of the memoir, MISTER B: Living With a 98-Year-Old Rocket Scientist, Lynn Byk graduated from Colorado Christian University with a double degree in Bible and Contemporary Composition. She has facilitated the Capture Books writers group for 20 years.
