A Family Living in Darkness - Second Edition

by William Vargas

A Family Living in Darkness, author William Vargas gives us vivid details about how the use of drugs and alcohol destroyed his parents and his siblings while living in the poverty stricken areas of New Jersey. "As I sat in the airplane on my way back from burying my father in Puerto Rico, I struggled with my emotions. So many things we've endured as a family. I closed my eyes and started to pray, when I felt a voice whisper, 'Your brother Cheche has died.' I opened my eyes and looked around. Was this true, I wondered. Were my emotions clouded due to my father's death? I closed my eyes again and asked God to help me endure whatever may be. Once I arrived home, I asked Mary to call the hospital where Cheche was. As she spoke on the phone, her eyes confirmed that the whisper I heard was not my imagination; indeed I had to embrace the fact that I lost my father and brother one week apart." Many are aware that recreational drugs and alcohol can destroy you, but have you thought about its affects on your loved ones? In A Family Living in Darkness, author William Vargas acknowledges that God, in His infinite mercy, saved him from this destructive path, dodging the tragic fate that many of those around him encountered.
