After Gabriella Bunting sustains a fatal head injury in a car crash, she finds herself at Nettie's Tea House, a halfway house for troubled souls who have left their physical bodies, but are unable to fully transition due to unfinished business. The tea house is run by Agatha and Nettie Tulrose, sisters descended from a High Fairy race of healing masters, whose staff administers award-winning healing teas and other treatments to help these souls transform their pain into peace and embrace their true potential. A treatment with a master shaman unleashes her shadow self, who bolts out of Gabriella's body and escapes to the inner-plane of Earth. Inner Earth is reeling from internecine warfare carried out by subterranean beings dwelling within it, causing the eruption of natural disasters on the earth's surface. Fear is running rampant. Conspiracy theorists attribute these tragic events to the notorious Order of Obsolete Programs, whose members, according to legend, dwell in darkness beneath the Earth and exist solely to create chaos and fear in humanity. The Order's plan to consolidate power risks the destruction of the planet. When the Tulrose sisters learn that Gabriella's shadow self has ingratiated itself with the leadership of the Order, they send Gabriella on a mission to reclaim her shadow, avert the annihilation of Earth, and realize her true purpose along the way. A quirky but moving metaphysical fable about the afterlife and its truths, Nettie's Tea House delights the senses and soothes the soul. "R. D.
