UNTITLED SIBLINGS PROJECT
by Kelsey Scott
Sky Thomas is after the brass ring. An ambitious newspaper reporter, desperate for a shot to write front page stories, her career goals are wreaking havoc on her year-old marriage. Her troubles at home are compounded by reoccurring dreams that play out malady and death in her family. And not even her husband understands how deeply the nocturnal trauma makes her question her sanity. Especially considering the 28 years her grandmother spent in a sanitarium.
When Sky’s boss discovers her eager beaver protégé has a family connection to a college football player whose paralysis may be connected to steroid use, she sends Sky to her estranged mother’s home in Nashville to get the inside scoop. The trip happens to coincide with the Thanksgiving holiday. And the entire family has gathered to welcome Nana home from the sanitarium.
Victoria is the eldest sister. A successful dentist who lives in D.C. with her husband. Jean is the middle child. Sky’s mother. And the designated caretaker of their newly emancipated mother. Angel is the baby. A devoted wife, and mother of the injured football player. With the three sisters and their respective families in one place, Sky quickly learns that her cousin’s paralysis is far from the most important story at hand. The sisters guard a family secret that ties directly to Sky’s deathly dreams. And Sky must embark on a journalistic endeavor that’s literally life or death. Her own.
