The hardship of growing up poor and different in a small rural area seeped in superstition and folklore affects a young girl's outlook on life. The devastation of betrayal by family and a lover determine her future plans and dreams. After enduring a murder attempt and being terrorized by an unstable and jealous co-worker, she is able to reunite with her first love. But will she find the strength to reach for her dreams? The Gift of Blood Ties is a wrenchingly honest portrayal of small town life in which a girl grows up being different. She overcomes this stigma by ignoring her special gift.
