Listen Later

LIVE SEPTEMBER 13, 2023. This episode will feature inspirational music, positive inspirations, and TERESA SEBASTIAN our Inspirational Author of the Day! Sebastian believes spiritual words and the sounds of nature soothe the inner being and define a place of peace. Creative writing is her way to release the soul and share herself with the world. When she is not writing, Teresa is an attorney, entrepreneur, and law school professor. She seeks to make a difference in the environment and culture through her involvement with community and corporate

boards.

Teresa has always been compelled to put words to the human life she sees around her. When her children were young, she made up stories about characters that traveled around the world and immersed herself in the imaginative worlds of Sesame Street and Mister Rogers’ neighborhood. She now composes children’s jingles about her granddaughter and sings them to her. Lost Seeds: The Beginning is her first novel.

Book Synopsis

Lost Seeds is the story of two brothers, Dublin and Timothy Brisco, born into poverty at the turn of the twentieth century to formerly enslaved parents. From birth, they witness firsthand the atrocities their parents had to endure and themselves experience the continued struggles of being Black in the South. Encounters with physical

abuse, mental illness, and racism define the brothers’ lives, and despite their best efforts to survive, the seeds of slavery’s wickedness inevitably spawn and lead the two down separate paths. Dublin attempts to overcome his tragic past and hopes to elevate his place in life by escaping oppression and adapting to segregated societal life, while Timothy openly displays his wounds, attempts to reject his Black identity, and descends into a fog of mental illness. The two
brothers never discuss their journeys, nor the lifetime of insecurity and violence they experienced, ultimately creating an impassable chasm in their relationship.

Eventually, at the request of their mother, Dublin reluctantly permits Timothy to live on his family’s land in a one-room windowless shack. Although they are once again united on the same property, their feelings of indifference and the distance between the two persist.

Will their relationship forever be lost to the traumas of their past, or will they be able to come together and be each other’s strength in the face of the cruelties of their world? Because no matter how much time or distance passes, the seeds of brotherhood never die.
