The Laws of Blood
Barry Jay Kaplan
THE LAWS OF BLOOD
“Lo, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before the coming of the awesome, fearful day of the Lord. He shall reconcile parents with children and children with their parents, so that, when I come, I do not strike the whole land with utter desolation.”
“We all have our view of our own history, some of it based in truth, and some of it embellished for posterity (or our own psychological needs), but none of us really know the truth of our parents’ history”
