The Plant Healer - (Hardback or Cased Book)

Set against the backdrop of the early 1970s-when social unrest and environmental battles reached a fever pitch-The Plant Healer blends mystery, romance, and spiritual revelation. James Lake's richly layered story invites readers into a realm where sunlight, water, and whispered secrets can sow both wonder and danger-and where nurturing the earth might just be the key to saving ourselves. The Plant Healer by James Lake plunges readers into a world where academic intrigue collides with secret gardens, hidden agendas, and the uncanny power of nature. At Fairfield College, young botanist Devin Douglass struggles under the towering shadow of his grandfather's legacy. While he yearns to push the boundaries of plant science-experimenting with psychoactive species and honoring shamanic traditions-he's stonewalled by the department's star scientist, William Watson, whose conventional research wields both prestige and fear. Enter Melissa Davis, the enigmatic caretaker of Eternal Bloom Botanical Garden, whose uncanny ability to heal and nurture plants defies explanation. Beneath the garden's pristine surface, Melissa guards her own secrets-exotic growths grown for illicit reasons, shadowy funding, and a connection to corporate interests desperate to harness her gifts. As Devin and Melissa form an unlikely alliance, they face threats from hardline commercial nurseries, vengeful academic rivals, and their own tangled pasts.
