Author: Marcus A. Nelson

Title: Born from weeds & rats

ISBN-13: 978-1533321534

Publication Date: May 1, 2016

Genre: Fiction

Synopsis: 

Religion is the only barrier to Mary’s heart but as that wall begins to crumble, James soon realizes it’s his own self-discovery that’s the true blockade impeding their eternal happiness.

 There’s nothing but love in 16-year-old James’ neighborhood.  Friends, family, community – so his crush on childhood friend Mary was inevitable; a match of destiny.  She seemed perfect except her love for Christ is deterring his quest for true love here on earth.  With his personal aversion towards religion, James questions, ‘how can he love someone and not love the very thing she loves?’  But they find a way and begin dating, surviving until college when Mary choses an institution devoted to religious studies while, still skeptical, James decides on a different university, in hopes of discovering his true self.  They bitterly break apart as James’ self learning leads him down a path that further distances himself from religion and ultimately Mary. Tragedy strikes, will that be the catalyst to propel him back to Christ?
