Sobre IBD

'A refreshingly original, immensely engaging tour de force of humor, wit ... and grace.'- Rich Follett, Readers’ FavoriteA quiet act of rebellion can change everything.Wendell Jones once enforced the rules of conformity as an Algorithmic Landscape Compliance Officer. Now, disillusioned and unemployed, he plants a single outlawed flower in a sterile neighborhood park-a small, forbidden gesture that sets in motion a chain of events far greater than he imagined.As Wendell tends his secret garden, he encounters neighbors carrying their own quiet burdens: a grandfather punished for encouraging creativity, a firefighter who remembers when truth mattered, and a community caught between obedience and authenticity. Together, their small acts of defiance become something larger-a testament to resilience in a world where bureaucracy smothers individuality.Funny and heartfelt, I Know Why Old Men Plant Trees explores the absurdities of control, the beauty of resistance, and the enduring hope that even the smallest roots can break through concrete.Perfect for fans of Richard Russo, Barbara Kingsolver, and Fredrik Backman’s A Man Called Ove-novels that blend wit and heart while showing how ordinary lives can spark extraordinary change.
