Fruit From this Tree: Episode 5

James Dixon and Janice Atterly are making a go of their long-distance relationship. He visited her in San Diego, California, and now he’s invited her to come to his home in Summer County, South Carolina.

James’ twin brother, Donald, is also interested in Janice’s best friend and condo mate, Dr. Cecile Jordon, but she’s not nearly as amenable as Janice. Of the women Donald has encountered, none were as difficult to get close to or half as intriguing as Cecile. However, hope springs eternal.

The Dixon twins’ cousin, Benny Alexander, is still searching for the woman he loves, the mother of his daughter, Stacy Greene. His pals, Janice and Cecile, and his family urge him to keep the home lights burning because of their belief that Stacy loves him enough to return to him one day. Again, hope springs eternal.

Benny’s younger sister, Vivian, is one who cheers him on. Yet, despite her confusing feelings for Chuck Montgomery and her own future, Vivian and Derrick Jackson draw closer together to the point of no return.

Vivian’s oldest brother, Kenneth Alexander, is still having trouble with Lisa Lambert. She wants him to pay for rejecting her and choosing to marry JeNelle instead. Kenneth knows that Lisa spells danger for him, for his family, and his business. Yet, his invention in connection with Cecile’s could be the collaboration that saves them all.

Family is everything to the Alexanders and the Montgomerys. Although each family comes from farm backgrounds, they didn’t know each other or the histories involved. However, these two divergent clans come together and change the lives of so many—and maybe even the world. As their lives play out and intertwine in surprising ways, they face a challenging future and marshal their forces to work for the better good of all.
