Freedom Forgive Me

The story of Freedom, Forgive Me follows a historical retelling of the planting of the seeds of the French Revolution through the eyes of Caine, an ordinary boy granted by God a great mission to deliver his country, which is in a broken state of corruption and madness. Caine’s journey showcases the struggle between God and the world, blurring the lines of what is good and evil– it is written around the question of, “Why does God allow suffering and sin if he is good?” and is meant to be read like a testimony of how the character of Caine comes to faith even despite his great sins and guilt.

Full of macabre storytelling, descriptive environments, satirical commentary, and numerous intertextual references to the Bible and other works of classic literature, readers follow Caine through countless trials and are faced with the inherent struggles of classicism, prejudice, faith, and persecution– and its message ultimately reflects on one’s purpose for living and fighting day-by-day, serving as a reminder of perseverance and hope.
