Family

"His Plan.
We aren't expected to understand it, just live through it..."
"Our choice, how."

We travel along with friends and foes alike past the putrid smelling, dung-filled alleys of London, near Threadneedle street in the east, past the pristine goldsmith shops on cobblestone-paved Cheapside, home of The Angel, to Red Fox Inn near Newgate prison in the west where the smell of human filth, desperation, and fear is so overpowering, nearby businesses are sometimes forced to close.

Too many people looking for work, too many ‘strangers’ from France seeking sanctuary, too few rooms, too few jobs and too little food… across London in 1618, life is cheap.

Our new friends profess belief in their duty to tell the truth and support justice, but they are no crusaders. Their journey to survive is far from limited to the streets they walk. They struggle to define their duty and how far they will go to help the Sheriff bring justice. The choices we hope they make and fear they won’t will change their lives forever.

 We smile and shake our heads, reflect on the remarkable souls whose lives intertwine in ways that in the end left us cheering, laughing, hoping, praying …wondering.
