Character Breakdown
Solomon- He is a preacher of a mega church, that is also just a man that struggles with human things. He has problems in his home, wayward children and his flesh calls. The war he faces is relatable but when his past comes to confront him. You will find that the war has come to reconcile itself. To know that your journey to self and all that you strive to become. Takes no precedence over the man you need to become once again. Especially for the sake of family.
Naomi- She is his first lady but she is not perfect. Her demons have taken hold of her soul. As much as she tries to drown them out with drugs. These things consume her life, mind and heart. If only she could lay her burdens down. She may be able to overcome her demons.
Joseph- Life as a PK(preacher's kid) is definitely filled with it's own obstacles. The streets know him as cutthroat. This 19 year-old menace is a king in these streets. His father doesn't understand how he came out this way after being raised in a god-fearing home. You see while the ministry was calling his father, the streets had already started raising him. He can't see himself slowimg down and that may just be his downfall
Imani- She is 21 and living what she feels is her best life. She has no time to concern herself with her Mega Church father or her troubled mother. She makes her own rules and that is just how it goes. Especially when she knows she doesn't belong. She is the best kept secret with secrets of her own.
Story From My Perspective
Initially when I began reading I felt as thought it would be you modern day church tell. You know one rife with scandal, affairs, stealing and etc. Well chile, let me tell you firsthand, that ain't how none of this goes.
You meet Solomon and you relate to the heaviness on his mind and heart. He has a drug addicted wife, a daughter who exposes her flesh to strangers and a son who sells more drugs than Mc Donald's sells burgers. How can he lead his flock when his sheep seem to all have gone astray?
Until one day he is confronted with his past. A past that he left to find his better self. One that he chose to leave but, has now come calling him to return. But how will he explain these secrets or the façade he portrays to a family that only knows him in this light? How does he tell them its about to get dark? Or that he is the storm that will blot out the sun.
Naomi a beautiful woman not only in body but in spirit. You judge her initially because she is a first lady and she is doing drugs. Until you see that the pressure finally burst her pipes. See she has been keeping a secret from her whole family. One that could possibly upset her families whole foundation. That is why she chooses to take the pain away, the only way she knows how.
Joseph makes his own rules and although he is the youngest. His street credibility makes him super grown. He has been putting in work and no one can tell him nothing. His father being a preacher makes him soft in his eyes. While he was out there spreading the gospel the streets was raising him into an unstoppable savage. The only thing is he may not know everything there is to this life. Because his enemies are closer than he thinks.
Imani is a young beauty who knows she is the shit. She is a headline stripper and model. Everyone treats her like a baby but on that stage she is all grown. Not even having a nationally known preacher for a father stops the rush that she gets from being the center of attention. Her family thinks her naive but she knows what they think she is ignorant to. That is why she keeps secrets of her own. Her secrets will ensure that she gets the last laugh and puts herself on top.
This family I tell you is full of more than dysfunction. It's as if everyone lives their separate truths and creates this unreal reality that doesn't help the family as a whole. What they fail to realize is that honesty is the best policy. It's the one thing that could actually save them from the twisted web of deceit that will come to wrap this family in mayhem, mistrust and disloyalty.
