Jeff's Plants: A Tale of Loss, Legacy & The Long Road Home
Jeff's Plants is an adventurous journey through grief that is guaranteed to give you all the "feels." Written from the perspective of someone dealing with and healing from complex grief, deep-seeded childhood trauma, and long-term emotional abuse, this story will invoke everything from joy to rage. You will laugh, you will cry, you may find yourself ready to punch a bully. It was written for anyone with unresolved parent issues, and especially for the family scapegoats and black sheep.
This book is three parts healing journey, two parts redemption song, with a splash of truth-telling revenge novel. It is a gritty look at dysfunctional family dynamics, fueled by greed and jealousy. While this story is unique to its writer, it will certainly speak to many.
On the Back Cover
"You can see death coming for years and still never be ready for it. I thought I was prepared to lose my father, but the moment cancer took Jeff was the beginning of an unraveling that could not have been foreseen.
My grief was complex. It uprooted parts of myself I had spent my whole life burying. I would also discover that everything I thought I knew about my family—what was left of it, anyway—was based on a lifetime of lies. I had been unknowingly playing a part in a long-game of deception. A game designed so that I could never win. Or so they thought.
I’ve named this story Jeff’s Plants because, in the end, the only thing I inherited from my father - the only tangible asset from his multi-million-dollar estate - was his plants. Plants that I risked my life twice to bring home. Plants that would become symbols of my rebirth."
