'I couldn't do anything about the past no matter how hard I tried, but I could do something about the present and the future. I was willing to make the changes that needed to occur before it was too late, knowing that I still have promises to complete. I couldn't bring back Alisa's parents, but I could get back at Mother for killing them in the first place. I knew love was complicated, but having to keep an eye on her constantly to protect her wasn't what I thought it would be like to have a girlfriend. When they said that love hurts, I didn't believe them nor understand. I always thought love was something that will make my life complete, but it's more than that. As I realized, love isn't just when you kiss someone but when you can't picture a life without that person.' John, a sixteen-year-old boy, with an abusive, alcoholic, mother faces the most challenging events he will ever encounter. As he learns about his mother's gruesome past, he sets out to right the wrongs his mother created throughout her life. With nothing to call his own, he hits the streets alone, trying to make sense of not only his life, but the evil lurking within himself and his mother. Does John have what it takes to overcome a sinister familial force? Find out in Stephenie Queen's debut novel Cursed.
