We've all got skeletons in our closets. Some come with pain that we carry with us our whole lives. Sadly, sometimes that pain is projected on to the people in our lives. By the time Richard was old enough to realize the indignities that were cast on him, it was too late. He had already receded into a place so dark it became who he was. Not even love, the very thing he was searching for, would change what he had become. Even Richard's daughter April, a full generation away, would feel the consequences of the actions of Richards father, James. Fun-loving, big-hearted Noah would come to understand April's history and try as he might, would fail at the attempt to bring happiness into this destructive family. If you're looking for a hero or a happy ending, you won't find in the story of the lives of the decedents of James who simply was just born at the wrong time.
