The Righteous Sinner

by Tyran Saffold Jr.

Curtis wasn't the one his family had chosen to follow in his fathers footsteps as lead pastor of the family church. He took a different path than his brother, Solomon. A road that resembled the way of a prodigal son, a sharp contrast to his big brother. But, when Solomon was tragically murdered by the police, everyone in the family had a hard time accepting his death and gave into their vices to help them cope. With Curtis left as the only son, he feels the need to fill Solomon's righteous shoes-- not only that, but his father expects him to. Now, being thrust into a christian lifestyle that he wasn't ready to live, he will understand that the demons from his past were not prepared to let go, and neither was he. Curtis will soon find out that the grass on the other side of the fence appeared to be greener, but in reality, the muck was a lot thicker beneath the surface. Walk with Curtis and uncover all of the deep family secrets, church skeletons and pitfalls he runs into as he is stuck inside of two worlds as the righteous sinner- Part 1 of a 3-Part series.

It was so sad when soloman was killed . Curtis went through so much and the sad part was everyone wanted him to be someone that he wasn’t. His mom became so weak after this and it’s like dang who is there for Curtis . Like folks Curtis is not Soloman!! His daddy ... I just cant even . He couldn’t stay faithful At all. He was making me so dang mad! This book was so well written and it Kept my attention the entire time. A must read.

Great read

Awesome read. It depicts real life issues surrounding some of the struggles men deal with. My only wish is that it was longer. Like a great great story teller the author left me wanting more. Can’t wait to start part two.

Compelling Story

Found this author through his spoken word on IG. Compelling story. Definitely worth the read. Ready for part two. #loveandink

This story revolved around one son being held to the standard of a deceased "golden child" while straddling two worlds. This was a bit of a rough read. I'm not certain if it was the interesting descriptive phrasing that disrupted the flow of the sentence i.e. "cubic zirconia tears fell" or "her tee-shirt bear-hugged her frame". Nothing wrong with them necessarily other than placement. There was no attention given to transitions, which meant I had to go back and re-read the previous sentence or two to ensure I knew what was going on in the current paragraph. I think this story had potential, but with the choppy delivery, spelling and grammatical errors, and inconsistent sentence structure, it fell a little flat for me, which is unfortunate, because I think with a bit of editing this could be a good fiction story all around.

5 Stars 🌟⭐️🌟 ⭐️ 🌟 Hands down!
I picked this book up the other day and couldn’t put it down! The author coupled beautiful detail along with an engaging story line that kept me anxious to see what would happen next! The dichotomy between knowing what is right, and doing what is right and the battle the protagonist (Curtis) was faced with pulled me in with each page. The author leaves the story at a nail biting cliff hanger... I cannot wait for part 2!


This was a great read!!! I’ve already recommended this to good friends and to anyone looking for an interesting book! I loved it!

Nicely paced, attention-grabbing story that makes it impossible not to read the sequel.
