In Blood Relations, Barbara Parker tells the story of three generations of women who have been bound together by blood—and by the secrets that have kept them all tethered to each other.

In the 1930s, Eva and her mother live on a small, isolated dairy farm in upstate New York. Eva is the only girl in a family of six, and she's growing up fast—learning to milk the cows, tend the gardens, and care for her siblings.

In the 1970s, Eva's granddaughter, Liza, is a high school student in a large city. She's restless and searching, and she's determined to find her place in the world. When Liza discovers Eva's diary—a secret document that tells the story of Eva's life—she begins to understand the connections that have bound her grandmother to her mother and to herself.

In the present day, Liza's daughter, Sophie, is a young woman in her early twenties; 8vo; 374 pages.
