The Pact: Our Journey Home

by Josh Wyatt

Alyssa's Perspective - There were four of us; we were the best of friends. We made a pact—we would be there to hold each other up. Always. We cared so much for each other, yet we made so many mistakes. We broke each other’s hearts and our promises. We nearly lost everything. We loved and our hearts longed, longed for what we had and let slip away; for what we hoped we’d find just once, love. Our hurt, heartbreak and tragedies led our hearts down separate roads. Had we drifted too far to ever find our way back? Did we shatter like glass when the burden of life’s trials weighed heavily down upon our shaky shoulders? Did we let the pain within our hearts tarnish and overcome the possibility of finding love again? No. We didn’t. We remembered. Remembered what a very long time ago mattered the each other. We found our way—home. Book Tragedy hits the humble and loving little community of Oakland Oklahoma and with the quick, heart-gripping blow, lives are shattered and spirits are left broken. Families are left feeling lost. Childhood friends are abandoned and forgotten. But love remains, clinging to the hearts of those who’ve all unintentionally lost their way. Through the struggles of lifelong regrets, unthinkable deceit, broken promises and grief, family, friends and long lost lovers will attempt to mend the pieces of their lives back together again. Their journey for wholeness and a second chance can lead them back to the place where it all began; a place each of them once called their home. But if the trails prove too tough and the wiping wind of life’s storm is too strong, they all could very easily lose everything—including each other.
