In the streets of New York City, The Christ family is considered the First Family of the underworld. At the top of the Who’s Who list, Roderick Christ, walks, talks and looks like cash money. On his arm is Julia Martinez-Christ, his trophy wife and most prized possession. On the outside looking in, one may pray for the life that the Christ’s have but Julia only uses four words to describe where they are now. Started from the bottom. Unlike, Rod she remembers where they come from and in fact she would gladly give up her ten bedroom mansion for that one bedroom in the projects. As their love holds on by a thin string, Julia still continues to stand by her husband’s side. Roderick’s lifestyle is magnified to the public but private to family however Julia knows who he is and what he does but continues to underestimate his power and connections. When things go left and Roderick is left fighting for his life, Julia stays on her knees in prayer begging God for a miracle. On the 15th floor in the Marshall Memorial Hospital, a figure continues to appear and Julia notices her but never says anything, as days turned into weeks and weeks become months, Julia is compelled to ask this girl “Who are you and why are you here?†The answer that she receives suddenly turns Julia’s perfect little life upside down. In “The Christ Family†readers are invited to enter the world of storytelling, the perfect urban fairytale is told from the mouths of the ones who were painted the magical story, perception isn’t always what it seems, neither is the idea of love and happily ever after.
