And He Shall Be Called Wonderful

Isaiah grew up in a house with his father, David, and half-brother Elijah. Their mother had been brutally murdered by Elijah’s biological father after he had learned that Isaiah was the result of a year-long affair with David. David never wanted them to fall into the footsteps that had ended tragically for their mother, but it seemed the past was close on their heels. Elijah impregnated his teenaged girlfriend only to be abandoned by her and left to raise their daughter alone. She returned after two years, tearing the brothers apart the only way she could, with sex. Manipulating Isaiah to love her, she wedged a wall between them that sent Elijah spiraling into drugs and alcohol, a spiral she soon followed. Isaiah, their rock, suffered at the hands of their addiction, finding that no matter how hard you run from the past, it will always hold you accountable for the sins of your lifetime.
