Flowers in Her Hair

<p>All her life Lisa MacLean has been doing the right thing. It's just a matter of time before she has to pay the price.</p> <p>Brilliant and successful beloved by her patients Dr. Lisa MacLean finds herself alone at thirty-six spouseless and childless in an empty house in Northern California. Reeling from a bizarre lawsuit and a recent breakup Lisa drifts through work at a drafty San Francisco hospital visits old friends in the pot farms and vineyards of Mendocino and drinks herself to sleep in the swirling fog of Marin County.</p> <p>Redemption comes when Lisa opens her heart and assembles an unexpected and eclectic family: an orphaned six-year old girl; a mangy dog abandoned by her owner; and a nameless busboy who seduces Lisa with globetrotting stories. Reconnecting with her hippie backwoods roots and her ailing father Lisa watches the odd pieces of her life fit together like a jigsaw puzzle forming a picture she never expected.</p>
