  'I'd like to bet in a few years' time his hair will be black as a sloe and very likely show the streak!He's a Mallen, if ever I saw one.' Each generation of the Mallen family has been cursed with a dramatic white streak in their jet-black hair. Barbara does not have the visible streak to identify her as a Mallen, but she has spent her life trying to forget her parentage -- and the horrific circumstances behind her birth. When her triplets -- the Mallen litter -- were born, she hoped that it would herald a new beginning. But it seems that one of her sons bears the Mallen streak -- and that the Mallen curse will never die out!

  From generation to generation bad luck and misfortune had befallen each and every member of the Mallen family. It seemed as though the ghost of old Thomas Mallen himself lived on in his unfortunate descendants, and Barbara had spent her life trying to forget he was her father.
  Then, when her triplets--the Mallen litter--were born, there in one of her sons was the unmistakable sign of the Mallen breed. How long would she have to wait and see if history would repeat itself?
  THE MALLEN LITTER is the third and final part of the multi-generation story of the Mallens, which began with The Mallen Streak and continued in The Mallen Girl.
