Scribe: A Novel - E-book - ePub

Scribe is a compelling story about a determined young man growing up in the inner-city streets of Orlando. We follow the protagonist, Demetri Joseph (Meechi), through three different phases of his life as he discovers and utilizes his talent and gift as a writer to find his way out of poverty, an abusive relationship with his mother, and into a life of prosperity and love. Meechi learns to be careful about what he asks for because sometimes loss is necessary to win, and sometimes instant gratification isn't worth it. Scribe is filled with lovable and relatable characters, including Meechi's best friend, Trent, who despite his challenges with mental illness, is a visionary that tries to convince Meechi of his writing gift, and the charmingly witty and wise Miss Viv, an elderly woman who is a retired school teacher and respected in her community, guides Meechi on his path to success. Meechi continues learning about himself and others as he becomes a grown man.
He realizes that a lot of things that the future holds have a lot to do with making peace with the past. The journey to success simultaneously comes with joy and turmoil.
