The Last Garden: The Untold Story of Emilia and the Bear

"A tale of magic and culture, defiance and courage, justice, and myths made real that readers everywhere can greatly enjoy!" (Reedsy review)

14 year old Emilia and her family live and work on a coffee plantation in a small Mexican village. When she uncovers a corrupt scheme that threatens to turn their way of life into a tourist theme park, it puts Emilia at odds with her father, but also puts her in life-threatening danger!

Meanwhile, Emilia turns to her grandfather to help unravel a recurring dream about a giant bear. What she discovers cracks her village life wide open, taking them both on an epic adventure through time where she discovers incredible secrets of the past and the power of dreams. Along the way, she comes to understand how history and destiny are intertwined, how to put bullies to good use, and wonders if her best friend Miguel could be something more than a friend...

How can she stop her disquieting dreams and the coming violation of nature and culture? Can she accept what that might mean to save her friends, her family, and herself? Can she come to terms with an alternate reality that could mean the end of her?

Join Emilia, her Grandfather, and Miguel as they embark on a life-changing adventure to discover a lost history, an ancient myth, and the incredible truth of who Emilia really is, or rather who she could be if she accepts – and survives – the challenge!

The Last Garden is a multi-generational, adventure about self-discovery, personal empowerment, and cultural justice with just enough magic to make you wonder.
