Synopsis
A once-successful writer with a bad case of writer's block is forced to support himself writing sleazy thrillers. On a whim, he buys a house in the French countryside, where he plants a garden, meets a seductive young widow, and manages to begin a new novel. His experiences are full of memories of Joe, an old gardener he used to work with when he was a teenager, who he feels is overseeing his new life.

Industry Reviews
"[A] charming fairy tale for grown-ups....Sweet and lite."
Higbie
"[W]e meet Jay Mackintosh, a 37-year-old British novelist who overcomes an extreme case of writer's block by rusticating in the French countryside and cuddling up with the mysterious and beautiful young widow next door....[T]oo many clichés...attempt to pass as deep thoughts....Life in small-town France has given Jay his groove back. If only real life were so simple."
