Ties That Bind Mick Lucie

Ask yourself, would your family survive if stuck by one tragedy after another, or would they break? The Gerity's faced that dilemma with different types of courage and each coped in their own way. Buffalo, New York was deteriorating along with the entire North East. Millions of families faced a bleak future. Katherine, the glue that held the family together dies, leaving a broken husband, a child forced into adulthood and a teen who hides his anger behind violence. On the horizon is the biggest tragedy yet to come. How they cope, reaching down into the depth of basic human behavior, you will have to judge right or wrong. This is not a study in morality or a happy, "walk away with a good feeling type of book. " It is a reading that requires afterthought. What would your family do? The primeval bind that ties family together cannot be judged or generalized by outsiders. Every family sets its own mark that only it may find just, to retain some type of structure. Each family pulling in cords of small, almost invisible, victories, weaving them into a cord that cannot be broken, thus ties that bind.
