Alice and the Green Man

A Quirky Fairytale for the Green at Heart Betrayed, angry, and newly divorced, Alice Owens found solace in a beautiful garden she planted on the abandoned lot next to her tiny house in Falls Church, Virginia. But when a developer threatens to pave over her paradise, Alice has no way to stop the corporate bulldozer until a mysterious Green Man steps out of a tree and into her life. Fergus, one of the legendary immortal Green Men whose job it is to nurture and protect all green and growing things of Earth, offers to help Alice protect the garden. She is skeptical of the Green Man's claims, but unable to ignore the way her body and soul respond to his. As Alice and Fergus work together to prevent the destruction of the garden, the developer pushes ahead with his agenda. While Alice's teenage sons take opposite sides in the conflict, her ex-husband schemes to put an end to her garden and her new romance in the hope of winning her back. But when the Green Man casts a magical Web of Protection to shield the garden, a firestorm of media attention rages out of control, and Alice must risk losing everything she holds dear to save the one man she can't keep.
