In Anastasia Zadeik's debut novel, 'Blurred Fates,' a perfect life unravels with one confession
When we first meet Kate Whittier, her beautifully constructed house of cards is about to collapse. And when it does, everything she’s been hiding behind the smooth façade of her privileged suburban-mom life — her deeply troubled childhood, her psychopath of a brother, the assaults she never talks about — comes roaring into view.
She had lost her mother, who died after a long battle with early-onset Alzheimer’s. Her teenaged stepdaughter had just moved across the country to live with Zadeik and her husband in Rancho Santa Fe because her mother was struggling with mental-health issues. Shortly after the move, her stepdaughter’s mother died of a drug overdose.
For Zadeik, now a Mission Hills resident, the writing journey that eventually resulted in the Aug. 2 debut of “Blurred Fates” was an adventure that was a few decades in the making. The venues are usually bars and the confessional stories often pair well with an alcoholic beverage or two. And once Zadeik survived her first VAMP, she was hooked.
