The Stars in the Sidewalk, My Demons Don't Die Easy, is a story of an every day working guy who gets triggered by a tragedy on the job site and is forced to face his many issues he had buried deep in his past. Ronnie is a young boy who is thrown back into the foster care system and is intrigued when a concrete crew shows up at his new foster home to put in a pool. Ronnie grows close to the guys over the course of the project. The concrete being poured is special and designed with hundreds of small stones that look ordinary during the day, but glow a bright blue at night, looking like stars.
Tragedy strikes the worksite and no one knows who is to blame. Is it the foster parents, the construction crew, young Ronnie, or the bully next door? Perhaps, something far more nefarious is at work. The tragedy sends Lawrence spiraling back to Angie, his beautiful counselor, after a four year hiatus. It also puts him back on the road to dealing with the issues he has kept buried since childhood. The negative patterns he thought he had killed had been active in keeping him a prisoner. He was convinced he was controlling them, but their influence was leaking a destructive power into his life. Our demons don't die easy. Could he break their stranglehold at this critical point, or would he retreat back into his cave of addiction for another twenty years?
Addiction is a powerful force and its tentacles can build an impregnable fortress that are impossible to break out of in our own strength. Your demons don't die easy and we wither under their relentless attacks. Lawrence had tried the faith thing many years before this event, but would God continue His silent routine in these areas of his life, or finally move? Could Lawrence 'will' his way out of this trap if God wouldn't help, or was he stuck forever?
