Who Is My Father?

WHO IS MY FATHER?

Who is My Father? shares the emotional tale of a family’s struggles after a man abandons his wife and children, leaving them to seek healing and inner-peace through their faith in God.

Juliana is a young woman preparing to give birth to her fourth child in Curaçao. Concerned about her husband, Chepie, who lacks a father figure in his own life, Juliana attempts to counsel him about the importance of prayer and faith, trusting he will not follow in his father’s footsteps.
When her labor pains begin, Chepie takes Juliana to the hospital. But unlike the good and dutiful husband she hopes he has become, Chepie heads to the bar next door, drowns his sorrows with strangers, and disappears at the end of the night. As Juliana wrestles with feelings of shame, deception,

sadness, and rage, she seeks strength from God as she brings their son, Chepitu, into the world. While she sets out on a faithful path she hopes leads to forgiveness. Chepitu matures into a young man who seeks answers to life’s deepest questions and wonders about the father he has never met. Together with divine guidance, Chepitu and his mother must attempt to overcome their pain and accept that even though the answers sometimes never come, forgiveness will.

THE EPILOGUE

“O Lord, forgive me for all that I have done wrong. Show me the path towards accepting and believing every day that Jesus Christ is Lord.”

These were the words, along with biblical verses, that were coming from within and echoed inside a hotel room in Medellin. And at that moment, I wanted to thank God that after 54 years I could be with you as my father.

My Father, I want to thank you today, even though you were not there when I needed you, you were not there when I wanted to have a father with me, you were not there when I was in need, and you were not there during my achievements.

That morning, I asked you where you found all those words. You told me that you taught yourself all these verses, to recite them even though you can no longer see or read well. I answered ‘I forgive you’, but now I’m sure that I have truly forgiven you.

At the end of your conversation with The Lord, you said what I also want to say to you; Amen – Amen and Amen.

THE TESTIMONIALS

Curaçao, here is your first Christian novel you have so long been waiting for! With this literary work, Welton Esprit has initiated a new development in the literature of Curaçao. With this book, Welton Esprit (March 28, 2012) has provided us a profound story that will move, inspire, and strengthen people great and small in our community, and which has the where- withal to cross boundaries. From the first chapter on- wards the reader is captivated by the story of one child’s search for his father, and wants to read the entire book in one go.

Diana Lebacs

“Who is my Father” by Welton Esprit is a sure shot that addresses that void that many of us have known, due to fathers who were absent or unsupportive. In a very interesting and effective way, he brings the reader in touch with the One, who is capable and powerful enough to fill that void.

Dear “Tokayo,”
With pleasure and interest, I read your work entitled: “Who is my Father?” Already in your prologue, you let the reader feel that he or she is not merely reading a work that is meant to catch their attention. Instead, the text invites the reader to delve deeper into the content of this masterpiece.
In my humble opinion, the content and style of this work is not only human and realistic, but also deeply spiritual. In this work, the reader experiences the senti- ments of the author, and includes an analysis of the different aspects of his life, thoughts, understanding, and, to be thorough, his analytic vision. I sincerely applaud and at the same time congratulate my ‘Tokayo” with his initiative to publish a work based on his thoughts, vast knowledge, and decades of experience.
It is my most heartfelt wish that the publication of “Who is my Father?” will be the beginning of more educational and informative works for our community, thus contributing to the development and betterment of our moral and spiritual values, while at the same time enriching Papiamentu, our dear language.
In conclusion, I would like to cite an aphorism that is very appropriate, which is the following: “There is one sole nobility that wears neither crown nor toga. His battlefield is Light and his banner is Truth. His adversary is the History of Humankind and his sword is the Word.”

Dear Papi, from the bottom of my heart I wish you all the best in the future and keep up the good work you are doing for your community, which is so dear to all of us.
