Life is full of good versus bad choices. In the United States, about eight thousand high school students drop out every day. In colleges as well, more students drop out than graduate. Hayet is one such teen. He helps others to achieve purpose, but can't help himself. His big heart and clear call is eclipsed by prioritizing fun over fulfillment.

His adoptive parents, the Calebs, expect him to be their new hope. Their own sons, Tobias and Sanballat, have lost their way, no longer believing they have a greater spiritual purpose. Instead, they squabble over money and view Hayet with suspicion and jealousy.

When Hayet is accepted to an Ivy League university, he thinks he can remain strong. Unfortunately, he loses his own way in this new environment.

Readers will feel Hayet's anguish as he grows farther and farther away from God's plans. Can Hayet open his heart and follow the right path once again? Or is he destined to become as greedy and cruel as his brothers?

Author Yakob K. Adhanom has based Hayet's story on real events. He uses Hayet's journey as the beginning of a greater discussion about uncovering God's plan for your own life and committing yourself to your true purpose.
