Turbulence

Candy Kingfisher knows plants better than people. At fifty-seven, fed up with Florida's trailer-park drama, relentless storms, and a dead-end job, she is one transfer away from a fresh start in Boulder, Colorado. But life has other plans. A steep fine, a Tuesday deadline, and no savings push Candy into desperate choices: a borrowed Corolla, a failing greenhouse, and a risky side hustle that spirals into theft, a dog bite, and a suspicious cop on her tail. And just when she thinks things can’t get messier, she meets Henry Tate—sunburned, sandal-wearing, and far too interested in her future. In a town where the chaos never stops and the storms always come back around, Candy must decide: claw her way out alone, or risk everything on a second chance she never saw coming.
