Do You Know Who You Are?

What would you do if you found out that your spouse had a secret life? Debra and Carvin have been married for many years, but a series of sinister events begins to unravel a web of secrets and deceit enveloping Debra, Carvin, and their friends. Debra and Carvin’s journey is one of discovery – learning the deeper truth of their own identities, what they mean to one another, and their place in the world. Author Ronnie Austin uses the story of Debra and Carvin as a parable about the spiritual and emotional complexities of modern life, skillfully interweaving their story with astute observations about the choices we are all faced with. Will we put on a mask to fit in with society and family? Or will we dig deeper and reach higher, to embrace the best self that God wants us to be? Hard-hitting and compassionate, Masquerade lets us see what happens when we stop hiding and come out into the light, presenting each of us with a personal challenge to find our truest self, and to see and support that truth in others.
