Book Description
Rita Calabrese is the guardian angel of the bucolic Hudson Valley hamlet of Acorn Hollow-and of her lovable but exasperating "famiglia." She's always fortifying her down-on-their-luck neighbors with secret deliveries of home-grown vegetables and ravioli alla zucca, sneaking cannoli into her gruff husband's lunch, and meddling in (or, as she would say, "improving") the lives of her three grown children. But now, on the eve of her sixty-sixth birthday, Rita's looking for a meaningful second act-and finds as a reporter for the local paper. Her profiles of Acorn Hollow's eccentric citizens, including the soft-spoken biology teacher with a secret poison garden, soon make her the toast of the town. But when the beloved football coach is murdered and Rita's investigation uncovers not only a messy love triangle, but also rumors of her ne'er-do-well son Vinnie's involvement, she finds her newfound journalistic zeal on a collision course with her fierce maternal instinct.Humorous and zesty, "The Secret Poison Garden" includes eight mouth-watering, garden-to-table Italian-American recipes.

Book Description
As a botanist with a lifelong passion for the intricacies of the natural world, I have always been fascinated by the delicate balance that exists between life and death, between the beauty of growth and the inevitability of decay. This balance is perhaps most evident in the world of gardens, where the vibrant colors of bloom coexist with the silent decay of fallen leaves and the subtle presence of hidden fungi. My first encounter with Blackwood Manor, a sprawling Victorian mansion swallowed by an overgrown garden, was a potent blend of enchantment and trepidation. The air hung thick with the scent of damp earth and decaying foliage, a symphony of aromas both alluring and unsettling. It was a world where beauty and decay intertwined, a reflection of the secrets that lay buried beneath the soil, both literal and figurative. This novel explores the mysteries that unfold within the walls of Blackwood Manor and its enigmatic garden, delving into the hidden truths that lie concealed beneath the surface of the seemingly ordinary. It is a story of family secrets, long-buried resentments, and the insidious power of nature to both nurture and destroy. I invite you to step into the garden's intricate labyrinth and join Olivia Harper as she unravels the tangled threads of a family's past, confronting the dangers lurking in the shadows and the buried secrets of her own lineage.
