The Thirteenth Child.
In the not-too-distant future, everything is perfect until the unthinkable happens…
Will Madison lives a perfect life in a beautiful house in a charming neighborhood. He has a fulfilling job as a teacher and historian, and lovely Tricia is the perfect wife.
Will makes every decision in his life based on what he knows of the past and what he believes best for the future, but the thought of losing everything he has is unthinkable. So he never tells a soul about the dark times, about Tricia’s bad thoughts and tears or the emotional turmoil his life secretly holds. They get through her bad times by focusing on the next child. The children are for Trish, something personal he can do for her, but the decisions Will makes must be made for the collective good. Always. History has taught him that.
When the van pulls into his driveway bringing his thirteenth son, Will’s worst nightmare begins to unfold. For Tricia, Peter is Lucky 13, but for Will, the boy’s appearance signals the end of his perfect world and everything he’s ever believed.
As his life crumbles around him, Will cleans up the pieces in the only way he knows how.
The Thirteenth Child was previously published by Samhain as Lucky 13.
