Once Lost

By Ron Elcombe

Maarit McDonough Malone lied. As lies go, it was big. It was also believable. Had Maarit been able to control her anger, the lie might not have surfaced for decades, perhaps a lifetime.

But karma being what it is, the cost of the lie had to be paid. Maarit paid the price, as did her daughters, Kay and Anna. The lie jeopardizes Kay's career as an internationally acclaimed opera star, and upends Anna's stable life.

Set in Minnesota, along the Mississippi River bluffs and Lake Superior's North Shore, Once Lost is a story of family dynamics. A story of anger requiring resolution, fear inhibiting action, and beauty overcoming cynicism.
