Once upon a time there lived a fairy princess... but this isn't her story.

This is the story of Tulip Garden, an urchin raised by unorthodox parents in a secluded cottage, completely off-grid and free from modern distractions. Naïve and guileless, resilient and fierce, twenty-two-year-old Tulip takes on the wilds of Montreal--until her innocence becomes threatened by latex monsters, Nigerian princes, and the perils of unemployment.

As she struggles to adapt to the intricacies of the modern world, Tulip's past begins to surface, reminding her of her father's mysterious disappearance fifteen years ago. Shadowed by a dark cloud of suspicion and intrigue, she enlists her roommate, Chaz, to help uncover the truth.

Preoccupied by a sketchy past and a precarious present, Tulip searches for balance. Email scams, social media blunders, inappropriate flirtations, and questions--oh, so many questions--leave Tulip untrusting but determined to survive with her heart and head intact.
