Fruit of the Almond Tree

A love story.. Today will be a day like no other for Academy 'Demi' Beauregard. Unexpected events propel her into an emotional journey back to the eastern Jamaican village of her youth, and the horrendous past she has struggled to forget. How much of her past will she dare to reveal to Charlie Woods, the widowed local pastor who is fast becoming more than a friend? As a reluctant Demi leads Charlie on a virtual journey back to their shared Caribbean roots, they re-discover mysterious island traditions, music and rituals that stir them to the core. In the long shadow cast by the almond trees that flourish along the coastline, Demi, with Charlie by her side, celebrates the strength and courage of the island woman who has stood up to life's storms and conquered despite overwhelming odds.
