The Faust and the Femme Fatale

About the Book

An allegory against the pompous, legalistic Christian. A parable against the Mega Church. Two races of people: the Fausts and the Christians. One is black-clad, cursed to wear the color that matches their hearts. The other are white-wearers, clothed in God's Glorious White. Christland, where every street, avenue, home, and business are as white as snow. Faustland, where everything is as ebony as night. Two half-breeds: one with Christian blood, though clearly a black-clad Faust. The other a Christian, with Faust-blood running through her veins. Together, they defy all which they'd been taught to believe...
