THROUGH THE FIRE
by James Abro
It's 1987 --the heady days of the Harmonic Convergence. A young man who was orphaned to a spiritual community eighteeen years earlier is getting ready to go to NYC to visit the only other survivor of the 'incident' that killed his parents. Through his 'virgin' eyes we get to see an urban landscape plagued and blistered by AIDS, crack, and homelessness. The young man nevertheless manages to attract and fall in love with a beautiful, young and ambitious fashion designer. She charms and confounds his ideals of romantic love and tests his emotional and spiritual fortitude in ways that would never have happened had he stayed in the community. The result is a unique and contemporary spiritual coming of age story.
