A page-turner with a heart!
- This is a book about nature vs. nurture as it affects a small child. State Trooper Sebastian Bly and Fire Marshal Billy Nightingale rescue a baby who escapes from an arson fire set by her own mother. They arrest the mother, and then Sebastian, his wife Annie, and her brother Billy set about to raise the child. What happens next has a fairytale-like quality of good people determined to slay the dragons of fate. Can they create a fictional mother so innocent, talented, and beautiful that her mythical essence is stronger than the reality of a biological mother so evil, that she is still determined to extinguish the life of her last child? Tabula Rasa is a page-turner with a heart.
