Origin Stories Publisher's Summary

Before there was The Cousins' Club... Before the birthday sleepovers... Before the belly raspberries... There was a family learning how to grow together.

When Sophia and Rocco receive a life-changing phone call about a baby boy in need of a home, they begin a journey that will forever change the Hawthorne family. Soon afterward, twin girls arrive, another surprise grandson joins the family, and four cousins begin a friendship that will shape their childhoods.

Filled with laughter, love, family traditions, and unforgettable moments, Origin Stories: Before the Raspberries takes listeners back to where it all began. Discover how RJ, Katie, Danielle, and Kai first became a family, how the Birthday Raspberry Tradition became a beloved celebration, and how The Cousins' Club was born.

Heartwarming and humorous, this family-centered story reminds listeners that belonging isn't about where you come from—it's about the people who love you, support you, and stand beside you every step of the way.

Join the Hawthorne family for the beginning of a journey filled with friendship, tradition, and love.
