Abstract:
THE BLESSED MEEK is an exploration of free will versus the sovereignty of the
church and those who keep its doctrines. By exposing the lives of Meekness
residents, especially preachers’ kids, Will Chance and Alora Ryan, the reader
discovers the heart of this short story collection, which traverses the bridge
between religious faith and humanistic needs.
Even though these protagonists are raised in different generations, they
encounter the same problems regarding Meekness: do they fight against the
value system of the Meek; or do they humble themselves under its weight? By
engaging multiple points of views, readers are drawn into the hearts and minds
of Meekness citizens, so one knows exactly how it feels to be Meek.
