![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I’m hoping it can be with him, but everything I’ve heard around campus points to Peyton not having the same life-changing revelation I did.Īnd if that’s the case, did I just move across the country for a straight guy? We said that high school didn’t mean anything, but the truth is, that night made me realize who I truly am, and since then, I’ve been trying to find that sense of freedom again. I haven’t had to think about him for four years, but now I can’t get him out of my head.Ĭoming to Franklin University for grad school to follow a boy I hooked up with once is the stupidest thing I could have done. I’m happy to accept that until he turns up in California. And while it was fun, we agree that being with guys isn’t for either of us. The last place I thought I’d find my release is at Levi Vanderbilt’s graduation party. I usually thrive under pressure, but as senior year looms, it all gets too much, and I need an outlet. I’ve been destined to follow in my NFL-playing fathers’ footsteps since the day I was born. My whole life I’ve had the pressure of being Marcus Talon and Shane Miller’s football prodigy.

Irunmole took upon a human identity and lived as ordinary humans in the physical world, but because they had their origin in the divine, they had great wisdom and power at the moment of their creation. Rooted in the native religion of the Yoruba people, most orishas are said to have previously existed in òrún - the spirit world - and then became Irúnmọlẹ̀ - spirits or divine beings incarnated as human on Earth. The preferred spelling varies depending on the language in question: òrìṣà is the spelling in the Yoruba language, orixá in Portuguese, and orisha, oricha, orichá or orixá in Spanish-speaking countries.Īccording to the teachings of these religions, the orishas are spirits sent by the supreme creator, Olodumare, to assist humanity and to teach them to be successful on Ayé (Earth). ![]() ![]() Orishas (singular: orisha) are spirits that play a key role in the Yoruba religion of West Africa and several religions of the African diaspora that derive from it, such as Cuban, Dominican and Puerto Rican Santería and Brazilian Candomblé. ![]() ![]() ![]() The heart of the story lies in the layered relationships and characters that give the novel its powerful sense of realism.
