LOVE. DESIRE. CONSEQUENCES. BLOOD IS FOREVER.
On a wet evening in 1982, two police officers step into the hallway, and eight-year-old Kaily Clarke learns that some doors, once opened, never quite close again. Her father is gone. Her mother is already somewhere her daughters can't reach. In the years that follow, Kaily becomes the family's difficult one — the sister who breaks things first, so nothing can be taken from her.
Then a man arrives who seems to want her exactly as she is: no judgement, no corrections, none of the questions she's spent her life refusing to answer. He offers her everything but a name, and a place beside him in daylight. For a while, being chosen in secret feels like being chosen at all.
But in a family held together by silence, the things we hide to survive have a way of deciding who we become.

When the Clarke family is shattered by the sudden death of their father, three sisters are left to grow up in the shadow of a grief none of them fully understands.For Kaily Clarke, the youngest, loss becomes rebellion. As childhood gives way to adolescence and adulthood, she searches for belonging through friendships, alcohol, drugs and relationships that promise escape but often deepen the wounds she is trying to outrun.Then a secret relationship changes the course of her life. Motherhood gives Kaily something worth holding on to, but love, dependency and addiction pull her in opposing directions. As the bonds between the sisters begin to fracture, Kaily must confront the difference between being wanted and being valued-and decide what kind of mother, sister and woman she wants to become.Spanning nearly three decades, Blood and Young is an intimate story of grief, family, motherhood, addiction, secrecy and recovery.The first novel in The Sisters of Sorrow series, it explores how the same family history can leave very different scars-and how rebuilding a life can begin with the smallest acts of courage.
