After her divorce, Hayley pours her heart into the perfect lawn, until
her entitled neighbor starts driving over it like it’s a shortcut to nowhere.
What begins as a petty turf war turns into something deeper: a fierce, funny,
and satisfying reclamation of bondaries, dignity, and self-worth.
After my divorce, I didn’t just want a fresh start. I needed it.
That’s how I ended up in a quiet cul-de-sac in a different state,
in a house with a white porch swing and a lawn I could call my own.
I poured my heartbreak into that yard. I planted roses from my late grandma’s clippings.
I lined the walkways with solar lights that flickered to life like fireflies.
I mowed every Saturday, named my mower “Benny,” and drank sweet tea on the steps like I’d been doing it my whole life.
I was 30, newly single, and desperate for peace.
Then came Sabrina.
