They are the Pipers of Cape Breton Island, a family steeped in lies and unspoken truths that reach out from the past, forever mindful of the tragic secret that could shatter the family to its foundations.  Chronicling five generations of this eccentric clan, Fall on Your Knees follows four remarkable sisters whose lives are filled with driving ambition, inescapable family bonds, and forbidden love. 

Compellingly written, running the literary gamut from menacingly dark to hilariously funny, Fall On Your Knees is an epic saga of one family’s trials and triumphs in a world of sin, guilt, and redemption.
