At the heart of THE DAISY CHAIN are Geoff and Marcus, who are partners in love and business, and own and manage the vegan restaurant, The Daisy Chain. With Winona, their part time employee, they endeavour to make the world a better place by offering locally sourced, organic vegan meals that appeal to even the most adamant meat eater. But Marcus wants more - more compassionate and ecologically minded people creating societal change now. Getting impatient with their 'slow conversion rate' he decides to extend their reach and, with the help of two college students and a hippy dippy tarot reader, he decrees they will make a documentary series about the restaurant, publish it on YouTube and promote it heavily on their social media accounts. This bold act tests all of their relationships, their resolve as activists and puts the future of the restaurant, and even their lives, at risk. Told from the rotating perspectives of Geoff, Marcus and Winona, as they star in, watch and interact with the media they have created, THE DAISY CHAIN is a comedic, heartfelt exploration of what it means to be an activist and tackle the pressing issues of our time using social media as an imperfect platform. The trio, like so many people today, attempt to 'raise consciousness' on issues like environmental collapse and homophobia, while at the same time grappling with the usual messiness and contradictions of ordinary, modern life. This book is a comedy, yes, and very hopeful. The people in this book are working hard, personally and politically, to heal their wounds, unlearn societal biases and internalizations and transform themselves and their world. It doesn't go easy for them but they persist. The Daisy Chain is a symbol for peaceful interconnection and community. (please note, some swearing and sexual references) Cover created by J.
