Unforgivable Sins

In Unforgivable Sins, her first novel, Fatima Lowe tells the tale of twins separated when they were infants, raised in two very different environments, later growing up as their lives intertwined with many twists and turns.

Bridgett, their drug addicted mother, abused and traumatized as a child, tried fighting the demons within herself to be the mother she never could be.

Crystal, the girl twin, strong, passionate and ambitious, raised by a complete stranger, later graduated Harvard law school and became a public defendant.

Christopher, the boy, also neglected and abused as a child, practically had to raise himself and led a life of crime and confusion as he battled demons and suffered from multiple personalities, trying to survive a life of never ending setbacks.

The adventure takes the reader from the city of Boston to Italy and to romantic Paris in France as interesting and very different characters came in and out of the twins’ lives.

Crystal got the challenge of her career when she had to defend the most infamous client of the year, a woman called Mary, accused of murdering a popular politician.

Christopher struggled for a chance of a normal life but would he eventually find the things that he seeks, namely love, wealth and inner peace and if so, what high of a price would he have to pay and sacrifice in the process?

As Crystal defended Mary in court, she had to win at all costs as a personal pay back to the prosecutor that she was up against to settle a score from her past.  Little did she know that there is a price in winning anything.  She got the surprise of her life as dirty and deep family secrets are revealed in the process. 

The story has many twists and turns as Crystal learnt of sins committed, sins so grave that they were unforgivable.

The book not only tells of the bond between family and the strength of the human spirit, it also signifies that love can conquer everything and that one can thrive beyond all set backs.

Fatima Lowe currently lives in New England with her family and although she has been writing for a long time, Unforgivable sins is her first published novel.

She has since the age of seven been writing poems, stories and short articles, many of which have been published in her high school magazines where she was an active member of the editorial board.  One of her poems, “The Child”, was a winning poem in a contestant and was published by the American library of poetry in Maryland.

With a very hectic life schedule, she barely has time for other activities but writing is a passion that she intends to pursue deeply.

Look out for many interesting upcoming novels filled with rich and multiple cultural drama and suspense and lots of twists and turns.
