The Book of James

Like a flash of lightning, their twenty-one-year-old son, James', life changed. Crumpled by a flat-bed truck, he barely survived. In spite of his brain injury, he was an overcomer. His children loved him dearly and did not notice his deficits. They adapted well. They were caring and loving. James' parents, also, exhibited so much love and devotion, helping in any way they could. Benny and Daphne Carson were the model family. They had two brilliant children: an attorney and mortgage broker. Both were succeeding in their lives and families.....until one was not. Benny and Daphne's ten grandchildren added to the vibrancy and happiness in their lives. Never had things been better. October 23, 2020. Hello, tragedy. Goodbye, James. Their son had left.
