Two competing brothers must band together in the face of tragedy. Based on the real experience of Luke Bernard and his physical and spiritual transformation, the story is told through the life of two brothers. The Favorite is about a distanced and agitated son, hurt by what he perceived as favoritism for his brother, who vents his anger through professional fighting. Will he injure the very people he loves most? Or will he find healing before it is too late? "The Favorite is an inspirational story of triumph over adversity, courageous faith, and family unity." -Steve Fedyski COO, Pure Flix Entertainment "As pastors and counselors understand, the issue of sibling rivalry-often unacknowledged aloud, sometimes rising from mistaken perceptions-frequently lies shallow in troubled family dynamics. As a leader of a Christian denominiation, I recommend that our church families read and see this life-altering story." -Mark L. Williams, Bishop, Church of God International "The Favorite weaves together the familiar themes of family, tragedy, and redemption in a compelling and captivating way. Inspired by real life events, Luke Bernard's story will hit home for all." -David Yates, Producer, Dolphin Tale movies "Those who read The Favorite will be impacted with a renewed sense of faith, hope, and love for healing and reconciliation." -Dr. Doug Stringer, Founder, Somebody Cares International "Favoritism is an age-old problem that has touched most of us in some way. In The Favorite, the physical and relational brokenness tears at your heart, but the power of faith and family comes to the rescue." -Pat Williams, Orlando Magic Senior Vice President, author of Extreme Winning Luke Bernard was homeschooled until high school because his family were missionaires to Nigeria, Africa. He was a Musical Theatre graduate of the University of Central Florida. Afterwards, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. Seven months later he was in a near fatal accident where he suffered traumatic brain injury, two broken vertebrae, and a removal of a four by five inch piece of skull to eliminate two blood clots and allow his brain to swell. He went through rehabilitation to relearn life again such as how to write, speak, and dress. In only six months after he relearned how to write his name, he finished the first draft of The Favorite.
