When a Mother Cares

A young aspiring statesman, Julius, falls in love with a beautiful young lady, Anna, while pursuing graduate studies and becomes a victim to her pain and bitterness in life, almost altering the destiny of his life. When he finally realizes he had made a mistake but didn't know how to escape, he had to turn to the love, care and spirituality of his mother.

Having moved to a new city for graduate school, Julius is right on track to fulfill his lifelong ambition of public service. However, his destiny just may be altered in ways he never could have imagined. He crosses paths with Anna, a captivating young woman whose life circumstances have left her utterly without faith. As Julius becomes involved with her, his clear and devout path takes unforeseen, and unsettling, turns. Thankfully, Julius can rely on the love of his mother, Cattie. Can her unflagging faith restore her son’s intended fate—even after she is no longer of this world? When A Mother Cares: Caring Enough For A Destiny is Pastor Joseph Essilfie’s absorbing new novel, which sheds revelatory light on how our everyday decisions can have a profound effect on our very destiny. As Julius struggles to break free from a woman who has long ago renounced his God, he learns that it will take powers far greater than his alone to reclaim his calling. With the help of his stepsister, Star; the legacy of his mother; and a renewed appreciation for God’s role every day, Julius finds out how deeply rewarding a mother’s care can be.
