The Family Affair series is a fictional collection detailing traditional values characterized by undesirable human behavior and the toxic pathologies of families that seem to be accepted as commonplace or even normative. Toxic families remain aloof to cause and effect at their basic level which can thwart the self-evolution of generations to come. Anybody can be a murderer, some say.
