I really WISH I knew the title of this book. I read it a long time ago. A young girl finds out about some sort of hereditary disease in her family. I can't remember if it was insanity or something else but whatever it was is hereditary . The young girl vowed she would never marry and have children for fear that she would pass on this hereditary thing. So all her life she turns away boyfriends and lives a lonely life. At the very end of the book when she is an old woman she discovered that she was ADOPTED and her efforts of her whole life was pointless. Anyone remember what this book is called?
