    About this ebook

    What starts as only a whisper in the darkness, grows into a tale of epic proportions.
    The story has a few dramatic events that take you on a mental roller coaster which makes the book exciting. This book marks several changes in the young man, his growing awareness of himself and his surroundings, and his gradual disillusionment with several of the people and places he has idolized. The portraits that are drawn of his family are not always flattering, yet his love for his father is important to him, and clearly evident. He does not spare himself either. Percy is portrayed as needy for attention and capable of spite and manipulation. He is fearless, curious, academically bright, and eager to show off his knowledge, but also the spite of his friends and brothers. And he faces many hurdles in his journey through life.
    This moving and unforgettable short story, tells a timely, harrowing, and heartbreaking story of love and betrayal, the transcendent power of life, and the ultimate price of oppression. This is a riveting story so well written that you won’t be able to turn off your bedside lamp until you read the last page.
