Vero Leclaire has moved back home to care for her sick cat Sophie while her mom is in rehab. But after Sophie flatlines from a heart attack and is revived by a vet, she leads Vero to the woods and a tree hollow where a strange humming emanates. Unsure whether the tree is haunted or she's imagining things, Vero goes on a quest to solve the puzzle, finding an exotic fern, a Native medallion, and an old cassette tape, which together unravel the truth about her dark family history. In the end, Vero must battle not only her penchant for living in the past but save her mom before she dies at the hands of a person who knows what's buried beneath the tree.

With personal stories, fun activities, scientific research, and the original approach of #GreenLeisure, Leaf Your Troubles Behind shows how plants and nature can help you de-stress and live a fuller, more joyful life.

"Karen Hugg is the rare author who can blend wonder and suspense." --Emily Carpenter, Author of Until the Day I Die, Every Single Secret, and Burying the Honeysuckle Girls Botanist Andre Damazy lands on the opportunity of a lifetime when he discovers a rare medicinal apple in Kazakhstan and brings back tree cuttings to his hidden greenhouse in Paris. Growing the cuttings into trees is personal for Andre since the apples can heal people with serious illnesses, like his mother who's suffered a stroke. But a mysterious stranger constantly thwarts Andre's work, sending harassing calls and menacing effigies, stalking Andre, and vandalizing his trees. Andre doesn't understand why anyone would do this, but he wonders if it's related to a project from his past that went wrong and resulted in a deadly mistake. So with the help of his new friend Renia (The Forgetting Flower) and her street smarts, he works to outmaneuver his enemy while uncovering a larger, more dangerous plot that threatens the foundation of all that Andre holds dear, including the woman he secretly loves. Harvesting the Sky is the second book in the Botanique Noire series which combines vivid literary prose and a thriller plot, while enticing readers with the wonder and magic of plants.
