Misplaced Danger

A Fatal Prescription

By: Marla K. Morris

Narrated by: Monica M. Wemitt

For years, Teddy has blended in as the nice, shy guy next door. To most, he is seemingly devoted to his overbearing mother. However, behind closed doors, their relationship is rife with dysfunction. He's heavily stressed about the possible upheaval of his job.

Meanwhile, as the capital city grows, his childhood home may be leveled to make room for a new commuter thoroughfare. Being pressured on every side, Teddy succumbs to the illicit use of prescription drugs. Addiction fills a void in his life, but it is only a temporary fix.

This is a tale of how Dr. Benjamin Eagleston, a prominent first generation Greek American, is operating a veritable pill-mill on the other side of town. Motivated by money, prestige, and a long-standing sibling rivalry, he plunders his practice, reputation, and privilege once his wrongdoing is brought to the light.

Their lives lived in juxtaposition of race, wealth, and circumstance highlight how interconnected people really are. Unintentionally, the undoing of the devious doctor is the catalyst for Teddy's ultimate demise.

Big Slices of Life, Read by a Superb Storyteller!

My favorite storyteller, Monica Wemitt, is reading this story by Marla K. Morris. And I highly recommend you listen to her, too! The book is a Web of Life Stories told over interconnecting Lifetimes... the good, the bad and the not so good... as we all know or might have witnessed in families and our own lives.
Sometimes the story moves through the years quickly, in evolving treachery and long hidden deceits, but I found that Monica's reading and perfectly defined characters, so beautifully acted with her voice (which I Love listening to), always kept it very clear to me about what was happening! Superb Storytelling! I'll be on the lookout for her readings here on Audible!!!
