A Hit of Faith

David Hewitt, a boy living in an abusive home in the suburbs, finds safety with an Iranian immigrant who runs a Persian Crime Family. He's introduced to the teachings of Islam while being trained as a hired gun for the Persian Mafia. He adopts the Muslim name Dawud Abu Adam and learns the thrill of being a hired gun. He enjoys Power. Money. Alcohol. Lavish gifts. No opposition. With this kind of unchallenged power anything is possible. But deep inside his soul, something doesn't feel right and a new search begins. A search of self discovery. With focus on faith and family, he must protect them by any means necessary. The only way out is to kill his former boss and mentor. Dodging Dirty Cops and the Drug Cartels, he must get close enough to his boss to end this game once and for all. But sometimes getting close comes with its own risks. To protect his family he begins a war that will end with only one man standing. The question is, who will it be?

Born in Pomona, CA to a single mother, David was raised in a home of drug use and child abuse. He found solace in writing fictional tales, poems and music to free himself. His world was in his own mind. Fantasy became reality when he left home. However, drugs and alcohol were part of his life and took control. After college, he entered into the Sheet Metal Trade, where the money flowed as freely as the liquor and drugs. With the death of his step father and life falling apart, David became more desperate to lose himself. Soon, his reality was found in the hands of being a homeless alcoholic and drug addict. After several failed relationships and a short stay in jail, David found himself in a place of disparity. He knew his only way out was through professional help and his faith in Islam. With help David has begun a journey of self discovery. He found a way to release the demons and let his inner child develop through writing, art, photography, journaling, music, meditation and prayer.
