“A refreshingly original, immensely engaging tour de force of humor, wit … and grace.”
— Rich Follett, Readers’ Favorite
Great for book clubs!
The story of a man defying authoritarianism, algorithms, and the zucchini police, with the enduring hope that even the smallest roots can break through concrete.
Wendell Jones once enforced the rules of conformity as an Algorithmic Landscape Compliance Officer. Now, disillusioned and unemployed, he plants a single outlawed flower in a sterile neighborhood park—a small, forbidden gesture that sets in motion a chain of events far greater than he imagined.
