Man in the Mirror

by Isaiah David Paul

Suicide appeared to be the answer for Tyson Lucky’s losing faith in God, ending his abusive relationship with his father and blaming himself for the death of his girlfriend, but it wasn’t. After failing his last attempt, he is sent to live with his family in Denver, Colorado, who seem to have problems of their own. Second is a sixteen year old trying to find his biological father, a task made difficult from his mother’s past promiscuous behavior. Love is fighting for everyone to accept his biological father, the only man who has stepped to the plate to take on the responsibility. The twenty-something Hope does not want to grow up and their mother, Ankh is more interested in the boys learning about their African roots and finding ways to send her other son to college than attending to her sons’ every need. In the balance, Tyson must not only heal from his past hurts, but learn to love and trust God, again. In the story that combines the struggle to maintain one’s faith while growing up, Isaiah David Paul demonstrates why it’s not easy being a teen.
