Love Among the Ruins - David Horne - Bog

How far must a man go to find true love? Esteban Labrada didn't mean to cause any trouble. He was used to his structured, monotonous underground life in the Sanctuary. When he speaks up for those who don't have it so well, he's banished to the world above. The City is a desolate, poisoned place where no one can survive, so it comes as a surprise when Esteban is quickly found by a group of kind, caring people, willing to offer him a new life. Gaylen Mortimer is put in charge of teaching Esteban how to survive in the outside world. He's a patient and ever-optimistic man, and the two of them hit it off immediately. He teaches Esteban how to choose his own way and live his own life. All of this is new to Esteban. What starts out as a frightening, impossible situation, slowly turns into one of hope and purpose. For the first time in his life, Esteban has someone to love, and a sense of being his own man. Can Esteban and Gaylen learn to love despite the hardships and the constant threat from the Sanctuary?
