Brenda Vicars

Philip puts little value on his life. He avoids relationships and blames himself for sexual abuse his sister suffered from their grandfather. Things change when Philip meets Edith, a free-spirited poet, with whom he feels a deep connection. Next, he finds old papers about his ancestor and a slave. As truth about Philip’s family comes to light, his perception of himself is turned on its head.

About the Author

Brenda Vicars is mesmerized by the way long-forgotten ancestors influence our lives. She believes transgenerational trauma is a hidden river that runs through past generations and bubbles up into the present. This concept inspired her new novel, Echoes of Our Ancestors, published by Bloodhound Books, Cambridge, UK, July 2024.

She started composing poems and stories as soon as she learned to read, but most of her career was spent helping others write. She taught levels from middle school through college, including college English to inmates inside a Texas prison.
