First Love

Just when the Russell Family had finally gotten their lives back to some normalcy, new trials creep up, causing them to question God again. Isnt that just like the enemy?

Gene Russell A devoted husband even after thirteen years although at times, its questionable. It could be a number of reasons why hes not feeling the same way he did years ago: Is he no longer attracted? Is it another woman? Is he just bored with Deshea? Gene cant put his finger on it. Meanwhile, everything else around him is beginning to slip away before his eyes and his pride, as the head of this household, might cost him what matters most if hes not careful.

Deshea Russell Also devoted, although its questionable who or what her heart is actually devoted to. Deshea has the life; good husband, good job, supportive mother, a good son -- What more could she want? Well let her tell it, her life is still unfulfilling; still missing something. Despite the issues that lie in front of her; Deshea still decides what better time to begin a journey to find herself again. During her self-centeredness, God allows tragedies to wake her up and force her to face reality.

Dorian Lorell No longer Gene and Desheas mild-mannered thirteen year-old. Hes fifteen now and altogether different. New attitude, new thoughts, new habits, new desires and new circle of friends. Life for him is just about to get sweeter once his real dad, Maleek, comes home from prison. Things would certainly change for everyone now. Maleek would make up for the fifteen years of lost time he missed with his son Dorian. Dorian couldnt be more excited. No longer would peoples actions affect or get in Dorians way of happiness and if they tried, they would pay.
