The last thing she needs is to return home for her grandmother's eightieth birthday and face the community she abandoned.</p><p>David Calhoun gave up his basketball scholarship and NBA dreams to care for his dying mother and raise his teenage sister. Fourteen years later, he's the heart of the Eastside Community Center, fighting to save the programs that keep neighborhood kids off the streets. When the city threatens to shut down the center, he needs a miracle-or a marketing expert who knows how to make people pay attention.</p><p>When Mama Ruth volunteers Talia to help with the community's Kwanzaa celebration, neither Talia nor David is prepared for what happens when ambition meets purpose, when corporate polish clashes with grassroots passion, and when the love they thought they'd buried resurfaces stronger than ever. As they work side by side through the seven principles of Kwanzaa, Talia must decide: Is success measured by how high you climb, or by how deeply you're rooted?</p><p>A heartwarming second-chance romance about redefining success, reclaiming your roots, and discovering that the longest journey is often the one that brings you home.</p><p></p><p><strong>TROPES: </strong></p><ul><li>Second Chance Romance</li><li>Clean (No Spice) Romance</li><li>Return to Hometown</li><li>Opposites Attract (Corporate vs. Community)</li><li>Matchmaking Grandmother</li><li>Small Town vs. Big City</li><li>Childhood Sweethearts Reunited</li><li>Holiday Romance</li><li>Found Family</li><li>Family Reunion</li><li>Workplace Romance</li><li>Sacrifice vs. Ambition</li><li>Cultural Celebration</li></ul><p></p>
