Win in the End
When Elena turns twenty-two, a DNA test from her adoptive parents sparks a quiet storm of curiosity. What begins as a journey to uncover her origins soon unravels more than she ever expected—a breakup with her boyfriend, rejection from her birth mother, and a growing sense of disconnection from everything she thought she knew.
But when she visits a distant cousin in Norway, Elena finds herself standing in the land of her ancestors, learning about Viking women who didn’t wait to be remembered—they wrote their own history.
Win in the End is a Fundraising Anthology. Once upon a time, an inkling of writers got together to tell stories and raise funds to help one of their own. It included 34 tales from 34 different authors. Some new. Some award winners. All inspiring. All for Annemarie. All funds raised through retail outlets go directly to Annemarie Sansevero. Melissa’s story in this anthology is Bloodlines.
