Nefarious Blood: ...an Orphan's Story of Endurance and Reclamation - Tapa dura

Waiting thirty years to tell her story in a mesmerizing novel becoming an account of her confession and her defense, Meeka's voice is attention-grabbing as in any psychological thriller. Her story centres on the death of her mother; Meeka now a young child, left alone in the world to raise her troubled sister. The sisters run from their foster home into the streets of Toronto, Canada, falling into a savagely dangerous game of survival. All their secrets explode into a nightmare of viciousness and horror in a tale whipping them into a perilous journey. That is just the beginning, because the more we learn about Meeka, the baffling circumstances of her mysterious past and strange ancestral beginnings, the less we understand. Was it an intolerable life before it began? Or, something stranger still...? No one could tell this story about the darkness of humanities but Beth Waite.
