THE
DISILLUSIONED
By
D.J. Williams
BLURB:
A mother’s suicide threatens to destroy a
family legacy. Her sons, Sam and Daniel, are forced to leave their comfortable
worlds behind and search for a woman they believe can unlock the secrets that
have remained hidden. They are propelled into separate journeys from Los
Angeles to the heart of the Zambezi where they are forced to confront a man
known as Die Duiwel, the Devil. On their adventures they will find themselves
in a place where death is one breath away, where thousands of children are
disappearing into the darkness, and where the woman they are searching for is
on the hunt for revenge. When they stand face-to-face with the forgotten slaves
of Africa they will fight to redeem what has been lost.
Ten
years later I had my hands full with two young boys while John was busy
traveling the world. I went with him on occasion, but for the most part I
stayed home and watched my babies grow into young men. At times it was as if I
were a single parent. I could’ve spoken up. I could’ve objected to the
sacrifices we made in the name of God. Maybe I should have, but I didn’t.
Instead I enjoyed the comforts of being a wife, our beachfront home, a private
jet leased by the church, a cabin in Lake Isabella, John’s seven figure salary,
as well as his book royalties. A bonus was the respect given to us whenever we
entered a room by those who didn’t know us. It was flattering, and addicting.
But nothing is the same as it once was.
God
forgive me.

Good morning! Thanks for hosting today!
ReplyDeleteHere's an exclusive tour excerpt:
ReplyDelete"I've been locked up here for one thousand and ninety five days. I've had time to think about the choices I've made. I've thought about what is best for everyone. I've become a burden. I know it. I feel it. I hate it. The whispers inside tell me there's only one decision to make, undoubtedly the hardest one of all. It goes against everything I've believed. But nothing is the same as it once was."
This will be a very emotional read.

Here's a quote from one book reviewer...
ReplyDelete“I really enjoyed this book. It brought out a plethora of emotions. I felt anger at the father, sympathy for the mother, and whole range of feelings with the brothers as they went through their plight. Notice I said “with” the brothers because the author had me right there with them in every situation. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone so I won’t go into any of the plot details, but this is a book you do not want to miss. It is the adventure of a lifetime; I did not want to put it down!”
Sounds very intense!
