Called Home to The Edge

By Aliyah Burke

Unexpected situations can be amazing if you allow yourself to believe.

Joseph Meyers grew up on a fruit farm in northern Wisconsin, and planned on spending his life there until the day his father kicks him off. Over a year later and he returns because the old man has had a stroke.

Sissy Edwin has taken over the job her mother had as housekeeper for the Meyers family after she passed. As a single parent, she's focused on two things—doing her job and raising her son, Taylor.

These two had grown up together and had a one-night stand, but now things are different. They're not in high school and they both have goals. Joseph's is to have her back in his life, as she woke part of him that was dead for so long, hers is to do right by her son. Do they have what it takes to keep it all at The Edge, or will everything fall apart?

Chapter One

It can’t keep going this way, Jen. He won’t listen and it’s about to sink all around him and Mom. You have a business degree. Can’t you get him to listen to some advice? Something that could save the farm?

The woman across from him shook her head. Her blue eyes, usually full of sparkle, were subdued.

I didn’t realize it had gotten so bad. I know our father is a stubborn old fool, Joseph, but to say he kicked you out of the farm because you looked at the books? Really? Even if I do talk to him and I can do it until I’m blue in the face, he still won’t be convinced that any way other than his own is the right one.

Joseph Meyer stared at his twin. She had a point.
