Sins of Yesterday: The Arizona Series, Book 1 (Unabridged‪)‬

The first book in Preminger's Southern Gothic family secrets epic, The Arizona Series.

It’s 1984, and 15-year-old Arizona is doing his best to take care of his younger brothers and sister while their daddy drives a truck cross-country and spends his paycheck on booze and gambling. In small-town Southwestern Louisiana, his family is known as the lowest of the low, and they say it’s on account of a family curse that’s so ugly, no one would dare speak of it.

Then Arizona’s daddy loses his job, and things go from bad to worse. He baits Arizona into a fight, and their brawl results in him and his brothers and sister being split up by Social Services. Arizona is determined to make a better man of himself and take care of his siblings, but he’s up against a world controlled by adults, small-town prejudices, and unfathomable family secrets that will change everything he thought he knew about himself.
