Jacob Winter is a man of principle. Unequivocally devoted to his wife Laura and their son Max, Jacob does not drink, does not own a television and as a fiercely uncommercial writer, he simply does not believe in the necessity of plot. But Jacob s principles are put to the test when he catches Laura in bed with a psychiatrist with predictably violent results and finds himself bailed out of jail by a mysterious woman from his past.
For a man who disdains extravagant storylines, getting caught up in the strange world of Alix Callahan, fiery lesbian ethnobotanist, and her bisexual partner, a sultry Americanized rainforest Indian called July, is a shock to the system. And when he ends up at Green Girls, their tropical flower shop on the coast of Maine complete with hallucinogenic herbs and a mini-jungle full of deadly poison-arrow frogs Jacob finds himself tumbling headlong into a real-life plot he never could have imagined.Michael Kimball lives in Maine. He is the author of three novels, FIREWATER POND, UNDONE and MOUTH TO MOUTH.
