Omar Duncan is a product development specialist who is plagued by his past through vivid daydreams, which keeps him alienate from his peers and detached from reality. His story traces key experiences from adolescence to adulthood as he revisits, in vivid detail, three of them that were most impactful. Because he has allowed years of bitterness and disappointment to drive him, he has conveniently avoided blaming himself for his misfortunes. His reckless approach to the relationships that should matter most causes his conscience to vacate his body, and shows itself in the form of a vapor. It is desperate for Omar to try and reconcile his troubled past as being necessary for them to become reunited. The vapor shows itself several times, but its appearance changes dramatically in proportion to shifts in Omar's own attitude, as it teaches him the value of treating his relationships with more care. One incident in particular becomes the culmination of the emotional toll from his past experiences, which has led him down a self-destructive path. It also lets him see there are always consequences for his behavior--good or bad; but in Omar's case it is behavior that happens to create a dangerous encounter with someone he's least likely to suspect, but an encounter that ends with surprising revelations.

The Orphan by James Lloyd is about a character called Omar, who is a man in his forties.� Within the first few pages of the book, Omar is introduced to the reader as a blunt character as he navigates through his professional life.� The reader soon finds out that Omar is not the most lovable character that one might expect from a protagonist.� As the plot develops, it becomes apparent that Omar�s character has more to it than meets the eye and has to learn the lesson that many people have to face: if you don�t reconcile with your past, it will show up in one shape or form.
This thought-provoking book is written in the third-person narrative, which further prevents the reader from becoming attached to Omar straight away.Ã? I like how James Lloyd wrote the narrative, as it gives the reader the time to make up their own mind on how they want to view Omar.
The book contains a detailed plot that ties the story together intricately.� Although the novel falls into the drama genre, James Lloyd combines various elements of the mystery and detective genres which lead up to a suspenseful event.� James Lloyd explores Omar�s past through devices like flashbacks and through the curiosity of other characters.� Learning about Omar in this way pushes the reader to question who Omar really is, whether he is a product of his life experiences or using them as an excuse for his actions in the present.
The Orphan is a deeply thoughtful drama with Christian values intertwined. I would recommend this insightful book to anyone who enjoys complex storylines and reading texts by authors who do not share everything with the reader immediately, giving the reader time to think retrospectively.
