Both issues are tightly intertwined and are a sure recipe for a soul-gripping drama, which is what drew me to write this story.
In the end, Soul Survivor became a lot more than an exploration of Ian’s psyche. It’s a story about finding hope when life doesn’t turn out like we wanted. It’s about the ups and downs of love, coping with grief, juggling family conflicts and responsibilities of adulthood when we’d rather return to the blissful ignorance of childhood. And, of course, it’s about the discovery and acceptance of a supernatural gift.
Finding all the answers isn’t the end of Ian’s journey because it only leads him to the more important question: Now that you know the truth, what will you do about it? Will Ian accept the harsh reality he were given or use his newfound gift to alter it?
What would you do?
