Welcome to Litsy!

A woman with a legendary green thumb, a man living in an emotional desert, and a small boy unable to connect with others. Can the three of them, with a little help from the charmed town of Dove Pond (and a pesky ghost), turn a nightmare into a fairytale and forge their own happily ever after? Young widow Sofia Rodriquez has just accepted the position of greenhouse manager for Ava Dove�s booming herbal tea business. Sofia is delighted to have found a job that will make use of her gardening skills and allow her to spend time with her son, Noah, who has been diagnosed with Asperger�s. Adding to her joy is the charming farmhouse she�s renting on the edge of Dove Pond. The only cloud on Sofia�s horizon is her next door neighbor, Jake, whose yard is a thorny jungle worthy of Sleeping Beauty. Soon enough, Sofia discovers that Jake himself is just as thorny and unpleasant as his yard. After his fianc� left him, work-from-home IT whiz and game developer Jake Klaine has gone from Prince Charming to complete hermit. But Jake isn�t really alone; he�s living with a ghost: a (formerly) hairy man named Doyle who�s a fan of bad puns and who refuses to leave Jake�s bathtub. This is nothing new for Jake, as he�s been talking to ghosts since he was a boy. He finds real people harder to deal with, like the kid next door who won�t stop bugging him about the new game he�s developing. Sofia and Jake know all too well that life isn�t a game. They�ve both lost the person they loved most. But under the watchful eye of the ghostly Doyle and Sofia�s new friend Ava, who has abilities of her own, Jake and Sofia decide to take a chance and let in an outsider. Soon they discover that, with a little magic, even the thorniest walls are no match for the innocent trust of a lonely child and the fierce determination of a woman wielding a razor-sharp pruner and a heart big enough to make even the most stubborn flower bloom.
