Cordero Keeper

By Axel Cristales

Everyday we are faced with choices. Laugh or cry. Love or hate. Live or die. Is it possible that in choosing one we can still be bound by the other? What if your choice to laugh made another cry? What if in sowing love, another reaped hate? What if your life brought about another's death? Fortunately, when choices are guided by the heart there is no force in life or in death that can tear two people apart. For love overcomes all, even our worst sins. Cordero Keeeper is a novel about two brothers whose characters are rooted in a tough upbringing and in untimely tragedies. Tito is the brash, reckless brother whose good intentions pave the road to destruction. Tony is the reserved, subdued younger brother whose world revolves around Tito's and who will eventually walk down the same path as his brother. Despite their differences, they share three common bonds - a love for baseball, a great love for their mother, and an even greater love for each other. Desperate to make a better life for one another, Tito and Tony face choices that will cost more than they thought they would have to pay. With some Spanish dialogue and phrases written in to create an authenticity to both the characters and the world that surrounds them, Cordero Keeper is a compelling story about loss, perseverance, more loss and ultimately redemption as told through the eyes of a father to his son.
