The
premise of The Janus Witch revolves
around the age-old question of environment or genetics. Which one truly drives
who we are, or more importantly, what we will become? Does good parenting, or a
stable and loving home life, guarantee children who themselves will become
productive citizens and good parents? What about the children of felons, or
worse, murderers or other violent offenders? Are they bent from birth to engage
in abnormal or criminal activity?
If
my thirty-eight year career in public education has taught me anything, it is this;
nothing is certain, and nothing is predetermined regardless of a child’s
background or parentage. I’ve seen students from good families who have been
given every advantage, yet some of these same students still end up on police
blotters, unable to stay out of trouble, keep a job, or sustain stable
relationships. Other students come from dismal backgrounds with dysfunctional
families, and even violent, abusive parents. Despite these enormous obstacles,
they still find a way to succeed. I have known many who became doctors,
engineers, and other skilled professionals. Most importantly, despite not
having a good parental role model, they managed to become decent, loving
parents themselves.
Here
are some examples of famous celebrities who overcame the odds:
Oprah Winfrey grew up in poverty on a pig farm,
where she often wore potato sacks for clothes. Born to unmarried, teenaged
parents, she was raised by a grandmother until six, then moved to Milwaukee to
live with her mother, a maid. Later she moved yet again and was sent to live
with her father in Tennessee. Today, she has a net worth of $2.9 billion.
Demi Moore was born in Roswell, New Mexico.
Her father left the family months before she was born. Her mother later remarried,
and they lived in a succession of trailer parks. Both her mother and stepfather
were alcoholics whose turbulent relationship was marked by numerous acts of
violence. A high school drop-out, today her estimated worth is $150 million.
Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl) was born in Fort Worth,
Texas. At the time of her birth, her mother was serving a federal prison
sentence for drug smuggling. Nursed for three months in a halfway house, her
mother was sent back to the penitentiary and Leighton was raised by her
grandmother until the age of eleven—when her mother was finally released from
prison. Today she is worth an estimated $5 million dollars with a bright future
in the film industry.
In The
Janus Witch, what would be the outcome if a violent, murderous witch
completely lost memory of her previous life? In fact, what would happen if on
this clean slate, a man who was kind, compassionate, and loved her deeply was introduced into her life? Would this love
change her? Would she respond in kind? Could this love overcome her vicious
past? Which face, the past or future will she choose? Ah, there’s a good story
here. Get a copy of The Janus Witch
to find out.
