He accidentally encounters a girl for whom he takes on a project to create a wild bird rookery from a large drainage pond. This is the story of how that chance encounter changes not only their lives, but those of their families and friends as the young man carries them along in his drive to create a lasting monument of his love. In the second book of the Stu Greene series, Stu is called to rescue his girlfriend's college roommate's sister from an abusive relationship. He takes the sisters and his girlfriend to his uncle's citrus farm to hide. While there, his roommate falls in love his girlfriend's roommate, his cousin falls in love with the sister, they bust a corrupt FBI agent and Stu performs a rescue at sea. It's just another day at the office for a journalism student between his freshman and sophomore years. In the third book of the series, a successful software executive inherits a run-down zoo and water park when most men his age would be retiring. Even his depth of business experience is not enough to keep his adversaries at bay so he resorts to tactics not usually associated with legitimate businesses. The fourth and final volume in the Stu Greene Series chronicles the one year long voyage that Stu and several of his friends take on a floating video studio that is not exactly what it seems to be.
