Julius, living a mediocre life in 2014 with a wife, and two children, had to admit to himself that he was a failure both as a husband and a father. A startling dream, or was it a nightmare, started a sequence of challenges coupled with the death of his father. Facing questions that he could not answer. The spirit of change was unwillingly thrust upon him that caused much soul searching. Like so many of us with deep questions, Julius needed help. Serendipitous, he met Mitchell who became his mentor. However, Mitchell was not enough, there was still something lacking. A mysterious “Book” showed up holding answers Julius needed. Taking turns reading it out loud, they both realized the wisdom and depth of this historical family legacy. Julius’ questions started to get answers, but even more so, the characters in that book left him realizing how much had been hollowed out of his life. Julius and Mitchell both saw the effect the book had on each of them by witnessing a remarkable story of love, tragedy, revolution, business recessions, political strife, religious and ethnic turmoil, and the consequences of each. In the end they were both changed!
