The town thought he was a fool. The guild was about to learn otherwise.
"A good plant is not the same as the right medicine. Selling the one as the other is a lie told with a true thing, and it is the hardest lie to catch. I caught it. I would not be quiet about it."
In the Confederacy that kept the plant, cannabis is a covenant trust: grown for healing, guarded by a guild for a hundred years, and sold honestly or not at all. High in the Ozarks past Jasper, behind a store with a glowing painted mushroom on the roof, Dr. Hieronymus Bartholomew Gonzo grows the finest flower in the Republic and wants nothing from anybody. The seekers find him. The sick find him. And for thirty years, at a corner table, a fortune teller named Zelda has been finding him too — though neither of them will say so out loud.
Then, in the shadow of the Third Jubilee, the trade begins to rot. Down on Bathhouse Row, a guildsman named Jack Archer has learned to sell ten-dollar flower to desperate families as their children's cure — and the men who should stop him have been bought. When Archer's people drive up the mountain for the one blessing money can't purchase, they meet the hardest man in the world to move: an old man who wants nothing.
What follows costs him his license, his credit, his good name, and his quiet — and wins him the whole trade, a rebellion he never asked to lead, and, at eighty, the last thing he ever expected: her.
Told in the wry, warm voice of its hundred-year-old hero, Dr. Gonzo's Apothecary Rebellion is a story of good flower and right medicine, of a Bell that rings every fifty years and forgives a whole nation's debts, of land lost and given back twice over, and of a plant that was given, from the beginning, for the healing of the nations.
- A standalone novel of the Two Republics alternate-history universe
- A late-in-life love story thirty years in the brewing
