    About this ebook

    A story of Gods love, a fear of the unknown, and secrets revealed, as four siblings discover their
    gifts from above.

    Andrew, John, Ben and Sarah are your typical children who dont always obey their parents. On a hot summer day, the siblings find themselves in a place theyve been warned never to go.

    While their journey is brief, its filled with twists and turns that make them wonder if they are hearing and seeing things that dont exist.

    The children make a pact to never say a word about what happened that day but some 25 years later their secret is revealed. Was their journey a big mistake or a part of Gods plan?

      The Family’s Medium

      “I love my family,” I say with my voice clawing against the walls of the mud hut. Smoke plumes to the thatched ceiling and dissipates into the straws of blackened dry grass—a telling of past fires that have warmed the hut and cooked family meals. “I

      Acknowledgments

      First, I give honor to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. When I look back over the years, it’s clear how God has ordered my steps. My Heavenly Father, I praise you!

      I dedicate this book to my mother, Shirley Harris. Mom, I can’t thank you enough for believing in me. As a child, you told me I could accomplish anything in life. Mom, you were right. I love you so much.

      To my brothers, James Tucker and Ernest White, and my sister, Pamela Tucker, I want to thank you for your support. There are so many other family and friends who never left my side when I encountered many roadblocks and setbacks while writing this book. To all of you, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

      Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

      James 1:17

      Prologue

Their adoptive parents, Jeffery and Tina Harris, lived in the gated community of Brandon Hills. It’s an upper class neighborhood where the men drove Mercedes and BMW’s to work while their wives scooted off in a different luxury car for a day of shopping. Although the children’s parents had the means to live the same lifestyle, they chose to live discreetly. The year is 1987. Andrew was the first to be adopted. The couple knew raising the soon to be rebellious teenager would have its
