Carrott and the Mule

After surviving a harrowing childhood filled with abuse and betrayal, young Roger Williams has finally made it to law school with the hopes of becoming a successful lawyer. There he battles the demons of his childhood while he attempts to protect the woman he loves. His love is Sara, a fellow law student who seems to embody purity and goodness. The trick becomes how to succeed in law school without corrupting her as well as himself. What makes this novel unique is its concentration on the consequences of making the supposed moral choice. A brief hint; choosing the moral path does not always lead to "happily ever after." Although parts of the novel deal with the darkest of human emotions, from feelings of emptiness to complete failure, the overall message is extremely uplifting. It demonstrates that no matter how far we may seem to fall as long as there is life, there is hope and a chance for redemption. In the end it is always up to the individual to choose.Foti, Joseph Anthony is the author of 'Carrott and the Mule' with ISBN 9781591297574 and ISBN 1591297575.
