About Blood Draw
Blood Draw is a novel of revenge, reawakening, and redemption.
In 1992, the University in Seattle, Washington, begins The Adoption Study by interviewing moms who have adopted out, moms who have adopted, and the adoptees themselves.
Jemma, on sabbatical from an English professorship to be a collator in the study, struggles with the decision to attempt to find the daughter she adopted out as a sixteen-year-old or to let go of the idea forever. Derek, an adoptee, is restless and frustrated, unable to commit to a career, relationship, or his closeted sexual identity. Peter, an IT consultant before joining the study as a collator, is in line to lead an ancient cult called Maharba and longs to bring Derek into the fold.
The connections formed between these three create more questions than answers.
Meanwhile Derek’s father, Tom, breaks through his decades-old denial of his wife’s murder and travels east to learn the devastating facts of her life and death. He must save his son at all costs.
