As different as fire and ice, they are. Two distinctly different young ladies, Janeal and Katy, captures the affection of a young man, Robert, who loves them both equally, for different reasons. One of the young ladies, Janeal, wanted to leave her family’s way of life. “She toyed daily, hourly, with the idea of leaving this place.”
One day, Jeneal has the answer to fulfilling her hopes and dreams handed to her by the devil himself. Jeneal runs the risk of betraying all of her love ones. I’ve seen this before, you get to a place in your life where there’s something that you want so badly, that the devil himself could show up, and his offer might be hard to refuse. I watched as Jeneal weighed all she had to gain, and tried to protect all that she knew she could lose. It was an offer she couldn’t, or wouldn’t refuse. Decisions brought changes to Jeneal’s character as she learned the highest form of her new craft. Your eyes will open wide if you see your reflection in her character.
A tragedy takes place in her community and all of her love ones are suspected to be dead. When Jeneal discovers another survivor, the possibility of her betrayals being known, brings her out of hiding. Is she filled with regret or happy with the life she has built? Does Robert still love her? Has she out smarted the devil? Each survivor ‘burns’ in their own way to find answers and wholeness.
Warnings whisper from these pages and upon locating your own personal memory, it exposes the infidel hiding within. What? You’re not ready for it to be you? Well, that’s what the story is for. Perhaps you can sketch down a note as a warning for your future self.
If you’ve ever wondered if you could outsmart the devil, what beauty from within looks like, or what bitterness can do to your life? Take your time with these characters. What, who, are you willing to burn to get what you want? I appreciate this story. It was so entertaining that it exposed my true feelings without me knowing it. Yes! You should read this book.
