Book excerpt: Tom was raised with a strong moral foundation set in place by his parents. He is like any other pious, God-fearing son. But as his world crashes around him, he chooses to veer from the way he was raised and let his instincts take control. He lets power go to his head, and feeling invincible, he acts out in hatred and revenge, trying to prove something to himself. Feeling deeply insecure and hurt, he feels he has no choice but to hurt back. In the Lurch tells how Tom's life changes as he matures. After losing himself, he finds his way back through all the chaos. The burdens on his shoulder make him learn about sacrifice and the purpose of living. But is he a god or a devil in the making? This incisive novel shows the ripple effects of decisions and their consequences. The author advises not to think of it as a story where you are being preached to; rather, think of the protagonist and his wrong decisions in life as a means to learn from his mistakes so that you don't make your own. And always know that you can learn from others' mistakes. Sahil is a professional writer in India. He has travelled a great deal throughout his country, and has observed how God and the devil are interpreted in different religions. He was inspired to write this book by "the wars, the rapes, molestation, death, and insecurity around the world. How fragile we humans are and how careless we are about our own fragile nature."
