Celebrating the release of her brand-new book:
๐ธ Tending Your Inner Garden: How to Weed Out Fear, Lack, and Separation and Cultivate Love, Abundance, and Peace ๐ธ
And let us tell you — this is NOT just a book signing.
This is an experience.
Rachael reminds us:
“You are the gardener — it’s time to get dirty and pull the weeds of fear, lack, and separation keeping you hostage.”
Using a powerful, relatable garden metaphor, this book helps readers identify the emotional “weeds” holding them back — and offers practical, actionable tools to cultivate love, abundance, and peace instead. ๐ผ
If you’ve ever felt stuck… overwhelmed… or ready for real growth… this event is for YOU.

Randy E. Barnett
AprilAuthor Signing Event!
๐โ๏ธ TRUE CRIME LOVERS & FUTURE LAWYERS — THIS ONE IS HUGE. โ๏ธ๐
Mark your calendars because we are honored to welcome Randy E. Barnett to Flutterbuy Books & More!
๐ Saturday, April 11
โฐ 1:00 PM
๐ Flutterbuy Books & More
Professor Barnett — Georgetown Law professor, constitutional scholar, Supreme Court litigator, and one of the nation’s leading legal minds — is bringing us his gripping new book:
Felony Review: Tales of True Crime and Corruption in Chicago
This isn’t courtroom drama from Hollywood.
This is the REAL story.
Before becoming a renowned constitutional scholar, Barnett served as a young prosecutor in 1970s and 80s Chicago — during one of the most violent and corrupt eras in the city’s history. From murder investigations and shocking confessions to the infamous FBI sting known as Operation Greylord, this book delivers a front-row seat to big-city justice at its rawest.
Fun fact: Professor Barnett has argued before the U.S. Supreme Court — including the landmark case Gonzalez v. Raich — and was part of the constitutional challenge to the Affordable Care Act. This is not just an author… this is someone who has helped shape modern constitutional law.
If you love:
โ๏ธ True crime
โ๏ธ Legal drama
โ๏ธ Behind-the-scenes justice stories
โ๏ธ Real-world courtroom strategy
โ๏ธ Books that read like a Netflix series
…you NEED to be here.
This is more than a signing.
It’s a chance to meet a legal heavyweight.
To ask questions.
To get your book signed.
To support your local indie bookstore. ๐
Perfect for aspiring lawyers, law students, true crime fans, and anyone curious about how the justice system really works.
๐ข Tag your law school bestie.
๐ข Tag your favorite true crime addict.
๐ข Share this with someone who never misses a courtroom documentary.
Let’s pack the house and show Professor Barnett how Cape Coral supports books, ideas, and bold conversations.
See you April 11 at 1 PM!
