A lot can happen in the middle of nowhere!

Preston McPherson thought he could save his troubled dairy farm by growing marijuana, but his problems were only just beginning.

With the help of his brother-in-law and local police sergeant, Fergus Becker, he signs an agreement with a cannabis distributor, Green Fields, but money is still tight. When a greenhouse break-in sends Preston deeper into the red, Fergus—not exactly a model cop—comes up with a scheme to sell marijuana illegally to a drug dealer.

Over time, Preston sets up a secret grow-op, launders the proceeds, and becomes involved in robbery and even murder. At the same time, he needs to bluff his way through government inspections, deal with a local group of women bible-thumpers who are picketing his farm, address the growing demands from the drug peddler, and stay one step ahead of the persistent small-town cop who has been investigating a series of local crimes. If any of them catch up with him, Preston risks losing his farm, going to jail, or being found floating at the bottom of a lake with cement shoes.

Loved this book! It ended so perfectly! Made me cheer for the characters who were just wanting to preserve their family history and live their lives. Showed how the world no longer helps everyday people. No empathy from the bank, big businesses taking advantage of their situation, and then the criminal element stepping in too! Backed into a corner with no way out. – Vickie

Deep Into the Weeds is an exceptional dive into the mind of a desperate man. I enjoyed the journey and watching how he found a way out of his financial difficulty, unusual as it was. The characters were well defined and so true to life in this situation. I adored Mum. Not knowing what to expect from her made her all that more enjoyable. And Ferg is that character you want to hate but love to have there. I hope there is a sequel to Deep in the Woods, as I want to know what happened after that twist of an ending. – Zoey J
