The C. Shephard chronicles the life of Chris Shephard as seen through drama, romance, page-turning action, poetic imagery, and the natural beauty of his Sullivan's Island home. Guided by a keen sense of justice and a Louisville Slugger, Chris's life is upended when he defends his stepsister from the attempted assault by three privileged teens, one of them the son of a local judge. When one of the boys dies from his injuries, Chris quickly learns that the justices we defend can turn on us as the overbearing judge will stop at nothing to protect his own name as well as his bad seed. Eventually reconciling with this past and now fighting to save his Island home, Chris is confronted once again with the consequence of choices, and justice not always being just. Now, he must choose to break a promise or a heart.

Since each of the Abrahamic religions is composed of human beings that are supposed to administer the Word of God to the people of God, conveyance of the Word is left up to the minister, rabbi, and imam's own biases and prejudices that they carry as human beings. This formation of thought by religion has justified slavery, racism, and Jim Crow in American culture.World domination by the British took place in the form of colonization of nonwhite people based on the so-called Great Chain of Being that was a hierarchical structure of all life that was decreed by God (but whose God?), with white people at the top and everyone else, especially persons of color, at the bottom. Accordingly, class and race affect every social and/or economic institution to this very day.In this provocative treatise, Dr. R.D. Carter, Jr., provides an eloquent argument that God has given us a road map and that we must fix this problem before it destroys our faith in the church, synagogue, and mosque. Adult readers from millennials to senior citizens of all genders and education levels who are interested in race and social justice issues will benefit from this compelling, insightful, and timely study.
