The Carpenters Son is a story about Xola Gule, a young black businessman who is at war with himself. Coming from a poor background, he is faced with difficult circumstances that force him to find a way to survive. From a very young age, he learns how to make something out of nothing and does well to sustain a living.His debating and athletic talents took him to great heights in his late primary and early high school days, but the sudden death of his grandfather overshadowed everything and left him vulnerable to many influences that played a pivotal role in the adult he has become.His late grandfather, a carpenter, was a well-respected man who made sure that Xola and his aunt were well taken care of. He had a lot of faith in Xola as he watched him grow up, and prophesied that one day his talent would take him to the world.At the peak of his success, Xola finds himself wishing that he had made different choices in life. His wealth and fame have become worthless to him and feel like a burden because of the way he acquired them. He realises that he has lost the most precious possessions - family and morals, and wishes he could start over and undo the mistakes that have made him lose touch with his true self.
