Turn A Simple Romantic Fiction Novel provided by PneumaSender FREE to Read Online
Preview & Summary Clark was a “little white boy,” as they called him, growing up in the Bronx, New York. Here, gangs and violence weren’t the only reality – they were simply the most publicized. There were also some great people, good music, and delicious food. In fact, the food sold in little corner fry counters – called cuchifritos – was among the best most visitors ever tasted. The Bronx was, for some people, the only home they would ever know, and they weren’t just content to live there – they were proud of it. Clark and his mother lived in an area that police were afraid to patrol, yet he and his Mom did okay for themselves. They minded their own business, worked hard at their respective responsibilities, and everything was going just fine. Though Mom never stopped talking about “real life” being far different from this existence, Clark was happy with things the way they were, except that he wished that his good friend, Johnny, and his mom would get together. But, well, he couldn’t blame Mom for being a bit wary. You see, Johnny had done something stupid. One day, in an inadvisable fit of inspiration, the thoughtful, quiet bakery assistant had told Mom that he believed God intended them to marry. Now, whether that was true or not, he shouldn’t have gone and blurted a thing like that until he had been sure of Mom’s feelings. Mom wasn’t the type of person to listen to that type of comment, though she truly believed that God still spoke that way, mainly because she couldn’t imagine it being true. Yes, indeed, Clark couldn’t blame her a bit. But still, in spite of that occasional burst of quirky behavior, Clark knew that Johnny would make a great husband and father. He was already like a dad to Clark, helping him with his homework, teaching him to play ball, and mooning over his mother. Clark figured that the only thing missing was for Mom to feel the same. Plus, Johnny was just about the most spiritual guy Clark knew. Yet, he wasn’t wimpy. He was strong and brave enough to stand up to anybody. He often defended the neighborhood kids from bullies, and because he defended even the local drug dealer’s nerdy little brother once, even the gang members had been instructed to obey and respect him. In fact, if he wasn’t just a bakery assistant, Clark imagined that Mom probably would have married him already. Since the proposal, though, Mom hadn’t given Johnny the time of day. Now, it seemed like the chances of being a real family together were hopeless. And so, in addition to being the best son and friend he could be to both of them, Johnny had become an intercessor, praying for the union of one stubborn woman and one half-crazed man. Would God do it? Well, the heart of the king may be easily turned in the Lord’s hands, but Mom’s – well, that was a whole different thing. All Clark could do was pray and hope that eventually Mom saw the light.
