Description

After losing her job and learning she might also lose her house because of a bad investment, Jess, a fiercely independent and hilariously wry BC grandma, resorts to growing pot in her basement to make ends meet. She then has to juggle her public life as a grandmother and member of the town’s senior women's group—The Company of Crones—with her secret life as a pot grower. The unusual characters she meets along the way include Swan, the enigmatic young woman who introduces her to the grower's world, and Marcus, the socially awkward "gardener" who shows her the tricks of the trade. Both of her new young friends are more than they appear, and Jess' adventures in pot growing break down barriers in both her old and new circles. The delightful outcome of an almost legitimate business leaves Jess and her associates flushed with success.

Advance Praise

"Jess is the feisty, funny, opinionated, can’t-keep-her-down-for-long "crone" we all hope to become. In this rollicking tale of desperate ingenuity, Jess shows us that you’re never too old to grow." - Amelia DeGrace, author of Flying with Amelia

"Gone to Pot is an entertaining read, thanks largely to Craig’s dynamic writing style. Characters all differ greatly from each other in age and disposition, but dialogue is well parsed and believable, Craig making the seamless transition between voices look easy....  A great read for any age, reminding us that the elderly can be vibrant, active, and involved." - Foreword Reviews 5/5 review

Delightful and entertaining, this is a romp through the trials and tribulations of growing pot in your home. As an out of work grandma, Jess has very limited options for income. Her adventures in growing just the right plant are endlessly humorous and enchanting. You will be cheering for her! Recommended.
