title: Tree
author: Denson, Calvin
description: Torrance Wingate Jr. aka Tree, is a man after Audumn's heart. Tree loves Audumn but his poor decision making has always tested their love throughout the years. It isn't until he receives a letter from Audumn in the Texas Department of Criminal Justices (TDCJ) that he realizes he is about to lose the one person that has always put a smile on his face.
  Change is evident as he sits behind bars examining his short comings from the time he started to stray o the path in which his parents have laid out for him. Along his journey to nd himself, Tree encounters people from all backgrounds who speak positive words over his life. Even though he is his own man, the people on the negative side of the fence seem to always attract him.
  His time is running short and Tree feels with the help of prayer and God on his side he can make it in a working society when released. Something he is not accustomed too by far. Will he make it or will the love for the streets cause him to return to hustling when faced with adversity? Whatever his choice may be; Tree knows he must make the right decisions or lose his freedom and what matters most to him, Audumn.
