Bloodli(n)es is a multi-character novel that illuminates one
dysfunctional family in contemporary society where the norm
remains, undoubtedly, mostly in the minds of idealists still rooted
in the conservative fifties. The Forest family members narrate
individual and separate alienation from each other and themselves,
in this novel of poems, where the House, an invisible protagonist,
has the most to say regarding daughters' and sons' estrangement
from parents and each other. As heirs to the mental disorder of
their dead father, four of the five siblings have scattered to
different states in America, in an attempt to ignore their past
while building new lives. However, each of them, unwittingly,
perpetuates the dysfunctional cycle. Jana, Ross, Jr., Tim and Beth
spin in their own orbits, while Rose, the firstborn, visits most
often Vera, the widowed mother, and brother and caregiver Ross. Jr.
Beth's debut poetry book, Through the Mirror serves symbolically to
reignite sibling liaisons in conflict, with the youngest daughter's
blatant characterization of an abnormal family (based on her own
personal experience and memories). realistic rendering of a broken
family unit that also includes the voice of Ross, Sr, the ghost;
and the House communicates emotions, opinions and sentiments
heretofore unverbalized. Bloodlines are blood lies until family
members face the truth of responsibility at the heart of their
bonds.
