This work of literary fiction with modest religious overtones, set in the inner city, is about Mark Cain, a man of simple beliefs: The best of people yield to society's evils, and everyone can be redeemed. He also believes he is Cain, Son of Adam, Brother of Abel, forced to walk the Earth beyond the judgment of Man until he is forgiven. He is cursed to know neither friends nor enemies, love or hate, or any judgment from society. Then he meets someone who is different. Inexplicably, she can judge him, sympathize with him - even show concern. Mark's solitary life now has someone reaching to him. Is she divine? Has she been sent to relieve him of his curse? Or has he failed to redeem himself? All he knows is that he must follow her, obey her, and find out how she can lead him to redemption.
