Abraham Martin is pushed to come to terms with his past when he reads a letter from his deceased mother. She encourages him to own up to his past and face his demons. After looking at his success, wealth, loving wife (Saralyn) and rebellious son (Isaac) - he has to acknowledge his secret family. With great zeal Abraham jumps at the prospect of welcoming Deborah and Michael into his inner circle.
However, Abraham should have thought about how his public announcement would make his wife feel. Saralyn lived with his indiscretions for the last thirty years but she will not stay silent with a public acknowledgement. Saralyn plots to secure Isaac’s spot as rightful heir of the Martin fortune. Deborah has always dreamed of the day that her father would embrace her and now she is living in the moment. But Michael has other thoughts about the Martin empire and they don’t include joining the leadership team. The other women, Leah, faces her involvement in Abraham’s past and vows to move forward. Will the two families become one or will revenge ruin everything?
Sins of the Father is a powerful story of revenge, betrayal, and forgiveness. Benson uses three dimensional characters to prove that regret, shame and hatred can give way to acceptance, forgiveness and love. The storyline will surprise you while the outcome will increase your faith in God. If you love reading about real life issues, this is a book that will keep you glued to the pages.
