My Days of Dark Green Euphoria - Cover.png

Meet Cara Foster.

Thirtysomething Cara Foster is, one might say, eco-anxious—perhaps even eco-neurotic. She eats out of dumpsters (not because she wants to but because it’s the right thing to do), does laundry as seldom as possible, takes navy showers every couple of days, and is reevaluating her boyfriend for killing a spider instead of saving a life.

Cara has never met her six (soon to be seven) nephews and nieces because she doesn’t fly domestic (unless it’s an emergency) or international (ever). She longs for a carbon footprint so light you’d hardly know she exists. 

Then, during a mimosa-soaked Sunday brunch, she meets her boyfriend’s alluring mother, Millie, and Cara finds herself mesmerized—but as they begin spending more time together, Cara’s life starts to spiral out of control.

Praise for My Days of Dark Green Euphoria

Carol J. Adams, author of The Sexual Politics of Meat

“Awareness of ecocide, environmental devastation, and animal suffering might not seem the likely content for a madcap adventure. That was before My Days of Dark Green Euphoria.”

Alex Lockwood, author of The Chernobyl Privileges

“It is a difficult task for a writer to balance all our eco-anxiety with grace and humor, but Copenhaver manages it with no small literary flourish.”

Robin Raven, author of The Kindness Workbook: An Interactive Guide for Creating Compassion in Yourself and the World

“From the very start, this novel is captivating and takes you places you don't see coming ... It's a book that will stay with you long after you've finished reading it.”

Wendy Werneth, author of Veggie Planet and founder of The Nomadic Vegan

“My Days of Dark Green Euphoria encapsulates better than any other novel I’ve read the struggles faced by people living on Earth at this very moment in history. While few of us go to such extremes as the protagonist Cara Foster, anyone who cares about the planet will no doubt see themselves reflected in her.”

Lisa Watson, novelist and reporter for The Monterey County Herald

“The introductory paragraph is so dark, so devastating and also so determined that it grabs the reader by the throat, forcing us to pay attention and read on … the author’s excruciating detail has primed us to believe it absolutely matters, and now we have to take a moment to recover. And then read on.”

Available online and in select independent bookstores.
