The Parable of the Faithful Son

This short story offers an enchanting new take on the well-known parable of the prodigal son from the vantage point of the faithful older brother. Jeremy vies for his father's authority and love while slaving away in the family vineyard, striving always to bring fruit and profit through drought and storm. He wrestles with his own identity and worth as a son, convinced that his convictions of righteousness and forgiveness that war within him put him on the high road in life, but a startling awakening in a storm of hatred realigns Jeremy back to his true self in time to reconcile with his family.
