“The parallels between this story and the biblical story of Jacob, Leah and Rachel were clear, yet this book is set in a totally different, current environment and still retained its power. I had a hard time putting the book down when it was time to do something else, and was always eager to return to it.” ~ Carol R. Nicolet, Amazon Review

Jake tries to juggle school, his job, and raising four children, but Leah turns to drugs and drinking, and finally runs off with her rock band, leaving Jake reeling.
When he falls for Rachel and marries her, his children rebel.

His children are wild weeds, and as they grow, the older sons’ resentment of Joseph’s gifts fester until they can take it no longer.

“Another great book from author C. S. Lakin, a gifted and creative writer who can cross genres with ease. Intended for Harm is unlike any book out there, a sweeping saga set in contemporary America, yet loosely follows the story of Jacob and Joseph in the Bible.” ~ Barbara Marshak, Amazon Review
