Book Description

Split is a story of purity and faithfulness. Split is about a young virgin, born to parents who did not want her, as she was put up for adoption before her birth, but for some reason, her mother decided to keep her. This young virgin loved God to the point that she did not want to disappoint him and chose to be faithful unto him. Her faithfulness to him included staying a virgin until she got married and then being faithful to her husband. During her childhood, she spent part of her growing up in the projects of Chicago, where she witnessed very little faithfulness or purity around her, even in her household. No matter where she lived as a child, people in her age group considered her a reject. Since most of her young life, she had no friends in her own age group, this drew her closer to God. At the tender age of nine years old, she accepts Christ into her life and gets baptized. After she is baptized, a woman at the church where she was baptized, befriends her, and later asks her if she would marry her son. At nine years old, she agrees to marry the woman's son, whom she has never met. The woman tells her that she will train her to be the wife of her son and that they will get married when she turns twenty-one years old. She tells the child that she will bring her son to church on the following Sunday. From then on, every other Sunday, the young virgin would go to the woman's house for training, until she was grown. During those years of training, the young man she was to marry kept trying to get her to have sex with him and even tried to take it by force. She, on the other hand, let him know that she has chosen to be a virgin bride. In her twentieth year, with only one year to go before their wedding, things go all wrong because of him. Twenty-one more years will pass before they are united in marriage. During those extended twenty-one years, they never lost love for each other, in spite of what happens in their separate lives. The young virgin becomes a virgin bride, but not as expected. Over the years, she strides to live a pure and faithful life unto God, through her first love.
