Description
Peggy King, the ambitious, combustible Supervisor of Eastcogue, New York, hates dandelions. To her, they are noxious, unruly weeds that threaten her fashionable town's patina of orderliness. But to Gus Sonalag, the nearly impoverished Town advocate for seniors and people with disabilities, and to hundreds of Eastcogue's struggling old settlers who face homelessness from the area's soaring land values, dandelions are beautiful wild vegetables that staved off starvation during the Great Depression and embody their determination to thrive in the face of society's disregard for them.
The battle begins when King and the federal government order the eradication of the dandelions in BayCogue Village, the town's only affordable seniors' housing project. Gus and his devious ingenious blackmail schemes to extract the millions needed from a temperamental movie star and a notorious billionaire.
