Feisty, determined, impatient, and unmarried, 30-year old Chelsea Phillips meets Michael, a sergeant in the U.S. Army, while on temporary assignment to The Tierra Mar Home For Abandoned Children. The Home is located in a remote area in Honduras and survives under harsh conditions. Chelsea encounters government corruption and bureaucracy, drug traffickers, deforestation, and the black market throughout this fast-paced, intriguing story. She finds herself enmeshed in conflicts in the Home, the lives of the people, government officials, and Michael, who is struggling with his own insecurities and difficulties. Green Passions takes a dramatic turn when the Minister of Education sends Chelsea on a harrowing, 8-hour journey to a remote Indian village and Michael is severely wounded in a battle against drug traffickers and is taken to Walter Reed Army Hospital. Separated by circumstances, when they are reunited, everything has changed, and Chelsea must make the ultimate decision that will affect the rest of their lives.
