- The lure of an old friendship takes a woman in a bold new direction-away from a life she never wanted-in this tensely plotted novel of second, and third, chances.Leigh Bowers has never felt more alone. After being caught illegally administering Hecate's Key-a medicinal mushroom that brings peace to terminally ill patients-Leigh has lost her mother, her job, her marriage, and primary custody of her daughter. But Leigh's life takes a hairpin turn when Jennifer Hex, an enigmatic woman from her past, reemerges.Jennifer, a guru attuned to transcendent earthly wonders, crossing paths with a lost woman like Leigh after all this time? It's providence. Jennifer has a plan to fulfill both their lives: they'll flee to the Canadian forest, live off the grid, commune with nature, and harvest the rare palliative mushrooms. It's everything Leigh has been yearning for-a connection, a purpose, a spiritual confessor, and an adventure.But as Leigh becomes more and more enchanted with Jennifer's extreme proposal, she wonders how well she really knows her old friend. Is Jennifer truly offering a blissful mind-body woodland escape, or is it a dangerous, ill-conceived plan that will upend Leigh's life all over again?
