About

An elderly nursing home patient tells stories of her past that seem to mirror her caregiver's life to a disturbing degree-and that's before the stories take a deadly turn Stuck in a loveless marriage and mired in a troubled affair, Genevieve Warner doesn't have a friend in the world-until she meets Stella, a patient at the nursing home where she works as a caregiver. Whip smart and deeply familiar, Stella confides in Genevieve the story of her life, a story that builds toward a horrifying confession. As Genevieve's own life slips helplessly down the same path, she desperately tries to turn away from a fate that seems inevitable.    Sensitive and heartbreaking, The Brimstone Wedding is a mysterious tale of mistakes repeated.
