Book Description

Almost three years earlier, Ketti had fled along with her eleven year-old daughter Babette and newborn son Danny, leaving her ten year-old son Patrick with his father. She had done everything possible to stay hidden. Babette was often left to care for Danny while her mother worked the night shift. Loud sounds awakened Babette one night and she went into the baby's room to find her brother Patrick fighting with her mother. Ketti seemed to be trying to kill Patrick! After the police were called, it was found that Danny was no longer living. It appeared to be a crib death-the same thing that had happened to her other baby brother Billy right before they had run away. Ketti was temporarily jailed to sort out possible child abuse charges, Patrick was taken to a Boy's Farm while Babette was put into a foster home. Before being separated, Ketti had told Babette to get the Wolfsbane from a drawer in the bedroom and to be careful around her brother Patrick. Babette was convinced that her mother was now insane, and would try to kill Patrick as soon as she was released. Babette felt strongly that she must do something to stop her mother. She was completely unaware that the prodigal son had returned for a bloody reunion of unspeakable evil.
