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. ///////////// Praise for Elsie Finch "Some families leave legacies of positivity and gifts.

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.
