Masika Ray is a mother of an autistic child. Although most believe individuals diagnosed with autism lack intelligence, the truth is some autistic individuals see life more clearly than normal folks as displayed in her book, Boisseau’s Emet Truth, a book with a complex story about faith, forgiveness, and family. In in an autistic man, Andre was falsely accused of raping his niece, Dora. Alexandre and Andre Boisseau are twin brothers. Their mother encouraged Alexandre to take care of his brother because of his diagnosis. When Andre was accused of raping his niece, society’s pressure forced Alexandre to allow outsiders decide Andre’s future.

Years later, Andre became ill around the same time as Alexandre. After Alexandre recovered, he cared for his brother without his family’s knowledge. Alexandre’s son, Junior, had his father followed by a private eye and confronted him. Junior joined his father in helping Andre. They took Andre to a therapist, which began to unravel the truth, and started the healing process.  

Dora and her husband moved back to New Orleans to help her father, Alexandre with his medical clinic. The move increased her nightmares, and she was forced to deal with the rape and other secrets. Discoveries are made when the Boisseau family realizes how secretes can impact one physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Alexandre’s best friend, Charles is a minister of a mega church. Although he’s a man of the cloth, he has a deceptive dark side. Charles hates Alexandre! Charles believes he stole his father’s affection from him, and LaNora, the woman he should have married. Charles’ obsession with LaNora drove him to hire a LaNora look-alike escort to pacify his desires.
