For generations, the women in Lynette Wilkins's family have protected a legacy built on sweat and tears. Sixteen-year-old Lynette isn't sure she wants to join the sisterhood bound by blood to preserve it. In Southeastern Pennsylvania, Lynette has grown up in a home that doubles as an after-hours business where locals come to drink, gamble, eat, and escape everyday life. Her mother expects her to continue a tradition passed from mother to daughter for generations. But Lynette dreams of choosing her own future. When her mother's alcoholic, short-tempered boyfriend nearly beats a patron to death, Lynette begins questioning everything she has known. Behind the familiar walls are violence, buried secrets, and a family history she is only beginning to understand. How do you escape your inheritance when it becomes a prison? The Blind Tiger is a coming-of-age drama of family, secrets, love, crime, sacrifice, and generational legacy.
