Redbud Stories, Book 3

By: Glenda Clemens, David Clemens

Narrated by: David Clemens

In the heart of Oklahoma, near the city of Guthrie, Rita Watson, a building and landscape architect, is on a mission to build eco-friendly homes that will make a positive impact on the environment. Her plan is to combine her two passions—create sustainable, beautiful homes, and natural gardens and landscapes in Oklahoma.

Her husband, Lyle, wants to create sustainable crops without pesticides or herbicides. As a young couple, they are beginning the process of creating their new home and orchards and other crops.

They hire Andy Stoneman, a young talented builder, as the contractor to build their home. He is a quiet man and wants to join Rita and her dreams of building eco-friendly homes and gardens. In the process, he meets Audrey Dawson.

She is a dedicated nurse who has always dreamed of being a homemaker, but her past experiences with men have left her wary and cautious. She's determined to focus on her career and make a comfortable life for herself, even if it means putting her personal life—longing for love and family—on hold. Andy is drawn to Audrey's kindness and intelligence. He finds himself quietly in love with her while building barns, sheds, and planters at Audrey’s surrogate mother’s home. However, his shy and retiring nature has kept him from confessing his feelings.

Finally, Audrey’s much younger twin brothers help Andy ask Audrey for a date. She is immediately drawn to Andy's gentle and thoughtful demeanor. But as their relationship blossoms, she can't shake the feeling that he might be too good to be true. Andy's patience and understanding are unlike anything she's ever experienced before, but Audrey can't help but wonder if his quiet nature is just a facade for something more aggressive and demanding.

As they navigate the complexities of their feelings for each other, Audrey and Andy must confront their own fears and insecurities in order to build a future together. Will they be able to find the courage to take a chance on love, or will their doubts and fears keep them apart? Find out in this heartwarming tale of two people searching for love and connection in a world full of uncertainty.

Lyle and Rita settle on the process of building their dream home, while Andy, as their contractor, starts making their dreams a reality. All is going well for both young couples until a woman on Andy’s crew becomes violent and caustic. Andy has to fire her, but evil is afoot. Mallory has plans for creating furniture that puts many people’s lives at risk, creating a bloody horror show.

In this heartwarming tale of love, friendship, and the pursuit of a better world, both young couples discover that with courage and determination, anything is possible.
