Are the sins of the father and mother visited upon their sons and daughters?

Undoubtedly damaged, Honey Lamb, like many, is a descendant of an unfortunate legacy of molestation, addiction, murder and bad decisions. For as long as she could remember, she believed the unhappiness she experienced was somehow bequeathed to her. The blood that surged through her veins seemed to be tainted and she often wondered about the DNA she possessed. Experiencing more than her share of misery at the hands of her mother, an alcoholic; the source of all her woes, Honey believed she’d overcome her seemingly checkered path all by herself when she met and married, Mason; a man she loves beyond her own understanding. Unfortunately, unsettling memories emerge to crack the veneer of her seemingly happy existence. Feeling unable to escape what she believed to be her destiny, Honey makes a decision that may have ruined her life. Not realizing God places people in our lives for His purpose, she reluctantly embarks upon a journey that will open her heart to a divine inheritance. Will she accept what God has already given to her or will she shun the invitation of salvation and allow her familial carnal legacy to continue to the next generation? Will she come to understand that Jesus’ blood redeemed us from a self-defeating existence because He became the sinful inheritance for us while at the same time eradicating it forever, giving us a spiritual blood transfusion that would change us all?

PROLOGUENorthern Italy, 1918He hadn’t washed in weeks. The countryside was crawling with “Kraut” and all he could do was think about the full lips that said his name with uninhibited desire.

My 5 Star Review

Generational curses healed and redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb. The main topic of this book wonderfully explained for every reader to understand. The effects of disobedience on people when they do not obey the Word of God in a given situation. 
Beautifully and Inspirational written book to learn about faith and God's undying love for every person who calls on His Name.
Taken back to WW1 we learn about Honey and the sins that visited her family because of the desire to have a better life. Secrets that kept them in lies as they try to live. Destroying futures until the message of Salvation and Redemption has been heard, accepted and believed.
We are introduced to Honey Lamb a young woman who believed a lie and paid a price for that lie. Separated from her husband Mason they had to come to terms with the effects on the lie facing their own demons, surrender to the unfailing love of the Cross to get together as a couple once again.
Many secrets had to be revealed in order for Honey to truly understand and make the right decision that would effect her husband, family and marriage.
With a support system of people encouraging her to take the correct steps, helping her to stand when facing with the fears and demons of the past.
I really admired the older woman Ms. Sadie who as a strong believer helped her, encourage her and interceded with her when she faced her trails. Helping her to stand and be strong.
Honey grew from a self conscious woman to a strong woman that faced her life and the decisions she made giving it over to the One who could heal her, bless her and give her a future she never thought possible.
Every character roll was well defined, strong as each played his/her part to help Honey in her darkest hour. Laying down all the guilt and shame to stand up strong learning the truth of the words 
"It is Finished"

Insightful, Inspiring and heart warming making this a delightful book to read.
