In the Garden

By: Kathy Carman Henderson

Narrated by: Cameron Lee

Amber avoided relationships; relationships caused pain. Now, she found herself drawn to the young professor of her religious history class. He understood her, and he understood lessons the past could teach. Few people currently alive remembered those lessons. The one-world society in which she lived had tried to solve problems of the past, problems like racism and religious conflict, without discerning the underlying problem. That was partly why Amber had been drawn to a study of history. A dimple and a twinkle in his eye had drawn Amber to the professor. Her teacher's sensitive grasp of both history and herself amazed her, but then came the uncertainty and fear. Her professor was breaking the law; what should she do? Was he wrong or was the law wrong? Until she found out his secret, he was the one person Amber thought she could trust. However, trusting him now was dangerous.
