Omschrijving

One man.
One shrub.
One HOA gone wildly out of control.

When Bruno receives a violation notice for his slightly overgrown oleander, he expects to trim it, comply, and move on with his life.

The HOA has other plans.

What begins as a simple landscaping issue quickly spirals into a full-blown neighborhood spectacle involving tape measures, anonymous reports, shrub surveillance, golf-cart patrols, emergency alerts, and a public "educational" perp walk through the community pools and hot tub.

Yes. Really.

Before he knows it, Bruno is no longer just a homeowner—he's an HOA criminal.

In Bruno vs. the Shrub and the HOA: My Life as an HOA Criminal, author Gail Robin Raes delivers a laugh-out-loud, mostly true tale of suburban life gone sideways, where common sense collides with rulebooks, neighbors know far too much, and a perfectly respectable man becomes Public Enemy Number One… over a plant.

Told with sharp wit, affectionate sarcasm, and escalating disbelief, this mock-memoir-style comedy explores active-adult community life, the absurdity of HOAs, stubborn husbands, nosy-but-lovable neighbors, and the way the smallest things can grow into unforgettable stories.

If you've ever received a ridiculous notice, argued with an inanimate object, or lived somewhere that everyone knows everything, this book is for you.

Trim responsibly.
Laugh often.
And never underestimate a determined shrub.
