The Apothecary's Song: An Ode to 2012 in F Sharp

After hundreds of tiny frogs rain onto Carina Parnapoulos' croaking yard and her partner, Pato, abandons sanity, quitting his job in order to build a bomb shelter in the backyard, Carina stirs from her lifelong slumber. Pato drags her down a rocky road fraught with misadventures as they confront the myths surrounding 2012 apocalypse. This nutty journey forces her to face conflicts she'd previously chosen to ignore, including the seedy side of her career at agribusiness giant, Malsapo, Inc. and the neglect of her true passion, music. Music, spirituality, and an apothecary teach her transmutation, leading her from a drab gray existence to an incandescent engagement with life. Also includes glossary of medicinal herbs, gardening, self-sufficiency tips, and an attempt to solve the unified field theory, also known as the Theory of Everything.
