Synopsis

Beliefs determine how you interpret the world and the decisions you make all your life. How appropriate are your belief to the life you lead?

Migrants from Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe arrive in the UK. Karrle, a black African, applies for asylum. Researching to understand why his circumstances have brought his life to this point, he learns how beliefs handed down over generations explain many of today’s problems, but provide no answers about the future. Change is needed, history should be a lesson not a life sentence.
Vishnu is a Hindu from India and works in his cousin’s Indian restaurant. He has no expectations that his values will ever change. His beautiful daughter, Mohini, goes to school and meets Andy, a white English boy and falls in love. Mohini cannot tell her father, neither can Andy whose father is a member of the English Defence League. Lech, having left his family in Poland, can only find black market employment in a carwash. Karrle escapes from a war zone in Africa; the friend who warned him that the militia were after him, is captured, tortured and killed. Burdened with guilt, Karrle must right the injustices in his country. Crossing the Sahara, Mediterranean and Europe he witnesses appalling suffering. His mother’s last words are ‘take my dreams with you.’
Mohini absconds. A streetwise girl takes her to a flat where she is raped and prostituted. Lech becomes a client. Both are lonely and desperate. Lech’s attempt to befriend Mohini is initially disastrous. Karrle is a highly intelligent man and gets a job in a factory on minimum wages. He befriends the factory owner Charles, a white, English, self-made multi-millionaire. As their friendship grows the two men have frank, private discussions on many issues. Karrle asks Charles : Why are there more economic slaves today than at any time in history? Are you a wealth creator or a parasite? Why does democracy stop at Dover? Why do Africans have the highest proportion of their populations starving and the highest proportion of their income from growing food? Is capitalism killing all life on earth? Why are religions dominated by countries?
The story is graphic, adult and factually based, with fictitious characters. Every character faces a challenge to improve their lives by searching for what is true. It is intended to be thought provoking and empowering. It is up to the reader to decide.
Review by international publisher:
‘…a most absorbing, enthralling and entertaining read that will no-doubt captivate a wide audience. The deep dive into immorality so rampant in society told through the fresh eyes of Karrle…while speaking of real-world issues in a tactful manner…. The plot keeps pace without sacrificing essential character development, the setting carefully chosen to weave intricate details into the narrative – captivating the reader’s attention, leaving them hungry for the next page.
