A soul-stirring novel of legacy, love, and the courage to start over-perfect for fans of Where the Crawdads Sing, The Great Alone, and The Midnight Library.
Alice Evans had it all: a corner office, a flawless win record, and a future as bright as the city skyline outside her window. But when her grandfather's sudden death shatters her world, she realizes her success is built on hollow ground. Walking away from her prestigious law firm, she returns to her family's estate, where she inherits a single, priceless gift: the truth that a real legacy is grown, not given.
Starting over means getting her hands dirty-literally. Trading litigation for compost, Alice finds herself in a community garden, learning to tend soil, friendships, and a new kind of justice. With the help of a wise horticulturalist named Leo, she begins to rebuild her life from the roots up. But old temptations linger: a seductive job offer that promises power and purpose, a magnetic ex who speaks the language of her loneliness, and a family that still measures worth in wealth and reputation.
As Alice navigates ethical crossroads, tends her fledgling garden, and fights for those without a voice, she must answer the most important question of all: What will she grow in the soil of her one wild, precious life?
