Leaving behind a disastrous marriage, Andy Calhoun moves
to the small town of Pemberton, Georgia, "in search of
banality." What she discovers, though, is not serenity,
but Tom Dabney, a passionate and magical man.
An exuberant poet who worships the wilderness surrounding
Pemberton, Tom is everything Andy doesn't need in her life
right now. But despite warnings from friends, Andy is soon
deeply immersed in Tom's life and his world...a world he
will do anything to protect. When Tom declares war on the
enemy poisoning his woods, it becomes clear that Andy must
choose between her life with Tom and the one she left
behind...if Pemberton society will take her back.
