Foraging can be deadly… or it can lead to love.

Ginger Johnson wants nothing more than to seek a cure for the Lyme Disease that’s robbed her of the father she once knew and, from her amateur research, she suspects mushrooms just might hold the answer. Her best friend Sass, burdened by caring for her younger sister with special needs, will do anything to get out of their small-town life in Western Massachusetts and taste the fame she feels is her destiny. The girls believe their problems will be solved by finally meeting their crush, handsome environmental activist and vector-borne disease scholar Forest Malvern, so they forage for and sell mushrooms to finance a trip to Paris to see him at the Youth Leadership Climate Change Summit. When chaos erupts at a rally near the Eiffel Tower, the conflicted by inseparable friends are torn apart for several days without any possible communication. Untethered to any family responsibilities for the first time, Sass rockets to fame with Forest in the City of Lights while Gin risks her life by trusting a mysterious stranger who takes her on an inner journey through the forests of Perigord. A long way from home, the girls must navigate treacherous rites of passage that separate them from themselves, each other, and their childhoods to ultimately find their way back to love.
