Ette was particularly a nobody to his people at home. He was a truant, outlaw, who was inlove with his sister and wanted no one else. Time and again, he was warned to repent. He never did, until he was sold by his father.
Ette tried to escape but each escape landed him into another ditch. He got to taste the bitterness of slavery.

What was he to do?

He must pull the bull by its horns and return to make amends. Like the prodigal son he was, he chose to repent.
