The Wilson family has a long history of hiding their pain-and they have suffered a lot of it. Kevin and Mary Jo had a happy and healthy marriage and two children, Michael and Rita. Sadly, though, the children never get to know their mother. Mary Jo dies of cancer quite early in the childrens' lives. They grow up quickly to help their grieving dad.Fears of further loss infect the family when Michael is sent off to war, but the Wilson clan continues to avoid discussion of emotional issues even in the midst of turmoil. With her brother gone, Rita takes over all household duties and eventually gets the chance to attend college, but there she faces a horrible trauma of her own. Kevin still mourns the loss of his wife, even as he finds new love, but seeking happiness only leads to the revelation of his insecurities and twisted judgment. Despite all their losses, the Wilsons also experience healing, marriage, and the birthing of a new generation. To fully heal, though, they all must exercise their personal demons and seek communication and unconditional love. It is possible to break a generational curse, but it will take honesty and courage to glue together the broken pieces of this family.

In the early 1900's, the Wilson family, lived at a time of country unrest and poverty. Love and the help of neighbors and friends were their gifts. Michael and Rita were the Wilson's two children who adored their parents and wanted nothing more than a happy life together. Unfortunately, not everything happens as we wish it. Death, War, misunderstandings, ego and money change lives and people. Mr. Wilson becomes an Insurance Salesman for a few years and the couple live in peace. But peace does not last, and the change is what this story is all about. It spans four generations with all the twists and turns of environment, history, ill happenings, effects of both war and poor communication along with pettiness and misunderstandings. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy. S. Marshall Kent retired, having spent 20 years in government employ. This is a novice attempt. A learning curve, if you will. There is no relation to actual persons, Clayton New York is a place of Fiction. The characters and incidents are a product of the author's imagination and are used fictitiously.
