The main purpose of starting this blog was to focus on finding the truth. So much truth has been distorted in today's world. Histories are being rewritten, criminalizing people we once loved, respected and reveried while at the same time bestowing honor to those we despised (such as Hitler and Stalin). What was once good is now deemed to be bad and what was once bad is now deemed to be misunderstood and actually good. We are living in an upside world - filled with a total disregard to natural human common sense.
A few years ago as I was pondering the hypocrasy our world finds itself in, I thought about how this will all affect the youth. They are being taught so much falsehood as being truth. What will their world be like? Where will their allegiances lie? With the continuing decay of the family unit and religion, what will be the foundation upon which they can stand?
I, as many do, believe that if the good and truth that once was in the world is ever to be restored, it will have to be done through the youth. However, with so much taken away from them, how can that task ever be accomplished?
It is with those thoughts and questions running through my mind that a story evolved - a story of four youth who live in a new society established on Earth some 68 years after the vast majority of the people in the world were killed in a global holocaust. The four friends stumble upon a secret Vault that contains the Earth's history - providing them with a mountain of new knowledge. As knowledge of the world before the holocaust is forbidden, how can these four friends use that knowledge? How can they restore truth?
My story is called "The Vault Keepers: The Journal". As I began to write it, I soon discovered that the full story could not be told in one book so a series was born - a series that will include a total of five books in all. Each book will follow the adventures of four youth (Kally, Quinn, Jade and Doc) as they try to learn and understand what has been taken from Earth, the value of staying committed to your cause in the midst of great adversity, the willingness to work and work hard for what you have and the worth of sacrifice that is needed to accomplish freedom. There is humor, mystery, adventure, awakening, joys and hardships interwoven throughout the series. For a more indepth review of book 1 (The Vault Keepers: The Journal), check out the review in the link below. It also contains a few excerpts.
BOOK REVIEW OF - THE VAULT KEEPERS: THE JOURNAL by Christine Broome
Although the story here is one of fiction, it is riddled with truth. It is my hope that in the context of a work of fiction, the youth can begin a journey to understanding the truth that has been hidden from them.
