Fruit from This Tree, Episode 9

De: Alexandra Ward

Narrado por: Kelley Hazen

Wesley Greenfield approaches Dr. Rosalyn Hunter, his high school crush, even though she’s now stepping up to help him protect three abandoned neighborhood kids. As the principal of the local elementary school, she’s in a league he believes is far above his as the owner of a struggling community center. Ice had to grow up fast after the tragic loss of his only living parent when he was nineteen. Now, he relies on his childhood friends, who share his dreams of a better life, to help run the center. Although he longs to be with Rosalyn, he’s determined to build a future for himself and his community.

Rosalyn, however, isn’t willing to let the man she’s cared about since high school slip away. Despite her achievements, she’s resolved to show Wesley, aka Ice, that their differences in status mean nothing to her. When circumstances force them to join forces and live together to save the three children, Rosalyn seizes the chance to prove they’re on equal footing. But will this be enough to convince Ice that they’re not walking on shaky ground—or will he keep holding back, believing their worlds are too far apart?

A Great Listen

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the narrator and found it very enjoyable. Childhood friends team up to help 3 orphaned children stay together as a family. Wesley owns and operates the community center and Rosalyn is a elementary school principal of the school the children attend. With the help of friends and family they form a new family. As they help friends make the community safer and more productive, they must deal with those that don’t want change. As in all the books by this author, strength is drawn from family and friends and you just want to keep listening to the suspenseful, fast moving story. Always looking forward to next by this author, with this narrator.
