A Fog over the Quails Jay Clifft

Dramatic and inspiring in all the right ways, A Fog over the Quails by Jay Clifft examines the fast-paced, frenetic everyday world of the contemporary American family. Rarely has one author accomplished such a poignant and truly accurate picture of abuse, addiction, and family love. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned when one family falls prey to not only their mother's but their own addictions, and their world spirals out of control with no one on whom to depend. Ultimately tragic, one man-a decent, loving father and husband-will suffer emotional turmoil and find himself unable to cope with the devastating affects of a fateful event brought on by his stepdaughter's naiveté and his wife's alcohol and drug use. In this hectic, modern world, this debut is a gritty testament that love is not enough to make a marriage work-much less help a family survive.
