description: The Mother - Margaret, senile yet with a terrible power over the lives of the household. The Uncle - A sadistic alcoholic whose warped mind bred fear in those around him. The Son - Miles, ugly, grasping and filled with hate. And Now Paul - Only four years old, and still innocent. Beth could not escape the smothering possessiveness of those at Covenant Farm, her dead husband's family, to whom she had turned for help. Yet she knew that the corruption and sickly evil that lay at the heart of the family now threatened her lovely and innocent son. Could she save him in time?
