Forbidden Fruit

The conflict-laced, exciting conclusion to the first book of the two-part series! Akelo's life swirls into out of control emotions which draw him further and further from who he wants to be. His determination to be master of his own fate leads him to an upstream swim in his life's eddies and currents. Violence erupts, sacrifices will be made but it's not so easy when the sacrifices must be made by people you care about. Love is simple but not easy. How much of his trouble is a part of God's plan and how much is simply a consequence of his own actions?
The reality of the world's view falls into conflict with the very truths Akelo holds in highest esteem. Akelo's Christian walk hangs in the very balance of each decision to hold onto his past or to embrace an unknown future.
Isaiah 64:8 proclaims that we are all the work of God's hands, in the present tense. If there is nothing else taken, we can be encouraged that God has a plan and part of that plan is to shape us into a better version of ourselves; if we are willing to commit to our own growth.
Through faith we overcome anguish and all of our life's sorrow.
We were made to be unique; yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Though it be a process which seeks to obtain a high degree.
And therefore I so look forward to meeting the truest, highest form of me.
