<p>Even in the darkest days hope is the path to light.</p><p><br></p><p>A young curious Electa longs to find a person who was once part of her life. After many years</p><p>she decides to go on a secret mission to reunite with this now stranger even though her loved</p><p>ones forbade her not to. Through this journey of hope not only does she discover that her</p><p>search was a vain attempt to fill a void but she also encounters a very dark side of this person</p><p>that only comes out after his excessive consumption of alcohol. The closer she gets to accepting</p><p>that he has sunken into his dark reality the closer she gets to ridding herself away from him</p><p>and his cup. Though Electa tries to save him she cannot do so without having to sacrifice</p><p>herself in his drunken woes.</p><p><br></p><p>In this thought-provoking story of hope and forgiveness that was inspired from real life readers</p><p>are urged not to give up hope for a loved one who is an alcohol abuser and in denial about</p><p>being one.

Loving them less because of an uncontrollable issue</p><p>they can't deal with will only cause more pain and damage to those on the opposite side of the</p><p>fence.</p><p><br></p><p>Written for adolescents as well as adults.
