Publisher's Summary

"The Blessing" is a terrifying story, originally published in Billie Dean Shoemate III's 2012 collection entitled In the Willows. Jennifer Rosdale is seven months pregnant with her first child with her husband Jack. They are a happy, hopeful, and successful young couple.

After a strange Native American acquaintance gives Jennifer a handmade blessing from the tribe, she accepts the intricately made gift and shows it to Jack, who offers her a warning. Such a respectful and revered blessing as it is, it hides a danger to those who are just a little too curious...
