When the Smiles Cease

By Presley Saint-Cyr

When we smile, we inherently want it to last forever. Just as there is a time and a season for everything that happens under the sun, even so, our smiles can sometimes turn into mourning. Nine-year-old Paul never knew life could change so drastically, but now his path has taken an unexpected turn. When he learns that he and his mother and sister must emigrate from Haiti to America without his father, everything he has hoped for and the future he imagined for himself is suddenly shaken by the rippling nature of life's spontaneity. As a chain of events unfolds that will forever change his life, Paul must learn to be courageous, faithful, and most importantly, spiritually sound. But will he ever be reunited with his father, realize happiness in America, and ultimately find peace and hope through his love for Christ? In this inspirational story, a Haitian boy who emigrates to America with his family must find a new path forward while relying on his faith to support him through complex challenges.
