Thanks to our God and my little author Emmanuel Burke, Rosemary Caroll, Robin Laskey, Mark Steele, Helena Howard, Michelle Finger and family, Belru Gbelle James, and my family and friends, for all their endless prayers, love, support, and encouragement.

In memory of my father and mother, Joseph Neblett and Malinda Ricks Neblett. May they rest in perfect peace.

Two kids, drawn by love-a feeling they cannot understand. Ben is fourteen, and Mabulie is twelve. What will their parents think of them if they embrace such feelings? Who can they turn to? Just when they understand the strange feelings, Ben has to move away with his family to New York. A covenant is the only way to promise their love for each other. Will they both still be able to keep the covenant after years of being apart?
