Idea for my third novel - what do you think?

I can’t get the idea for my third book out of my head, so I figured why not tell you about it.

Working title: It Felt Like Abandonment. The names used will not be the character’s names but I have to name them to make this make sense.

Sarah believes she is cursed. Her mother failed and her mother’s mother failed, and she knows if she ever had a child she would fail too. She has no idea how curses work, but when she’s diagnosed with uterine cancer and faces chemotherapy and death, it all makes sense.

However, before she can even start treatments, her needy mother Maggy calls hysterical because her sister Juliet died. Although she and her mother haven’t spoken in almost a year and she is facing her own death, Sarah cannot say no. While cleaning out Juliet’s home and meeting old friends and family, Sarah discovers questions and connections about her grandmother, Reyella, who used to play with crystal balls and séances in the 1920s. Maggy shrugs it off, but Sarah starts to wonder how real curses actually are and whether or not they can be broken.

So what do you think? The coolest thing about this part of the writing process is nothing is decided yet so your thoughts and reactions could lead to whole new developments. It’s kind of neat.
