Colette Winter is living the life she always planned. At twenty-five years old, she’s married to her college sweetheart, living in a cozy home steps from the sea in her idyllic Jersey Shore hometown, and raising her one-year-old son as a stay-at-home mom. But instead of feeling happy, she’s struggling, big time—and her carefree friends, increasingly distant husband, and aging parents just don’t get it.

Enter Sophie Charlotte, the perky playground mom living a seemingly picture-perfect life, who introduces Colette to Inspired Earth: an essential oil multi-level marketing company that promises to solve all of Colette’s problems. Before Colette can say Divine Eucalyptus, her finances, relationships, and sense of self plunge into a wild tailspin. Will Colette find her way out before she loses everything she’s worked so hard for?
