The complex tale you are about to read reminds us that the dividing line between darkness and light within the human soul is thinner than we may realize. It is a story that resonates through the ages-the journey of a man who slides into immorality out of weakness and nihilism, leaving behind him a legacy of pain. Yet woven through the anguish are the first hopeful strands of some greater design at work. For in the wakes of this charming villain we meet two extraordinary women who transform adversity into redemption's flaming torch to light the way for others similarly lost. Their dedication to compassion and belief in the resilience of the human spirit contradicts the cynical impulses that created so much hurt. In Rose we see one born burdened by the sins of her ancestor but unbowed by the weight of it. She illustrates that our past need not predict our future when we have hope. And Sarah, long-hardened accomplice to deception, completes the portrait of metamorphosis spurred by unexpected forgiveness-no soul is beyond salvation when offered the right grace at last. So I present to you a tale of cause and effect, crime and punishment, despair and renewal, defeat and triumph. A reminder that light penetrates even the deepest shadows if we but open our eyes to see it. Finding inspiration therein, we realize that we too have the power to redeem our world through simple compassion writ large.
