Five For Dinner

By: Joi Miner

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

***Full Standalone*** Never hesitate to entertain strangers… Sometimes, being too close to a situation can cause you to miss out on what’s important. For Talia Cochran, all that mattered to her was providing for her family: her wife, Jasmine, and her daughters Nayomi and Persephone. She made sure that they had everything they needed, and everything they wanted. At least, she thought she did. She would soon find out just how wrong she was. Jasmine Cochran was a housewife and a recluse, since her family turned against her for coming out to the world. Raised in a strict Southern religious family, she had been deemed an embarrassment in the small town that she once called home. As if that wasn’t enough, her wife cared more about providing financially than emotionally, which left her to deal with the complexities that were teenage and elementary school girls, alone. The rift continues to widen and drama seems to be coming at every turn. Things seem to be reaching the point of no return for Talia and Jasmine. Until... an unsuspecting stranger is invited to occupy the extra place at the Cochran family table, gives this troubled family an encounter to remember. Will they be brought closer together or pushed farther apart? Find out what happens when Talia informs her wife and daughters that there will be Five for Dinner.

Crappy, disjointed storytelling.

Really hard to follow the message being portrayed, character development lacking. The story felt untold at the end. Just unsavory people being cruel.
