About the Book

This realistic story of a black Christian mother who instructs her son to think and behave according to the teachings of Jesus Christ. As he matures, he strives to live as a “good person” in an uncertain and materialistic world. Joseph is the main character who meets a girl in an orphanage and she will forever influence his life. He fell in love, after being seduced, and he is befriended by an army buddy. Over indulgence in alcohol led him to become homeless.
