FLIGHT or FIGHT

“All that has a beginning
must of necessity have an end.”

“Destiny requires us all to be tested in the fires of life, to be subjected to the karma of lifetimes past and present, to be moulded by learning from the adventures of this existence, and to be called upon to become one of the intimate raindrops, one of the millions of characters that inhabit the lands and seas of this, our solitary blue planet.”

This murder/mystery relates the story of how our heroine, Sheba, reacts to the challenges of her life, with its myriad twists and turns, as she battles to keep her own unique place under the desert sun.

As destiny presents her with each of life’s experiences, Sheba must choose to fight with courage, flee in fear, or allow an alternative to show her the way.

Born in the city slums, schooled in the world’s oldest profession, honed by a solitary existence in the desert, Sheba finds happiness with the hermit, Herman, and their children. From a quagmire of darkness, she rises with fortitude, courage and determination, and learns that survival requires the ultimate strategy to keep that which you love, or the supreme sacrifice to set it free.

Are the choices she makes of her own free will, or is she merely a feather borne on an eddy of wind?
