Letters From Seclusion

Rich, a successful businessman, was given up for adoption by his Christian mother, who kept her other 4 children. Resentment and feelings of rejection led him to move away to a secluded area, where he could avoid being hurt by others. To assure he wouldn’t be contacted by the outside world, Rich cancelled his cell phone and e-mail accounts.

He continued his career by working from home. His house was situated on the edge of a subdivision, in the woods. The windows were all shaded with dark drapes, to further his seclusion. Rich only left the house to head to a local tavern where he consumed intoxicating amounts of alcohol every night with an older man who had a bitter view of the world. Rich also met Sheila, the beautiful bartender who convinced Rich that Christians are all hypocrites who cause all the problems in the world.

Rich’s mother uses the help of others, including his 4 sisters and Rich’s lifelong friend, Kelly, to help him understand Jesus is real and forgiveness is a choice.
