Grades 9-12
Ana Cortez has blown her last chance to live with a foster family, and her only option is to live in a group home. Then she is given a chance to move to a farm and join a trainee program in Northern California. She agrees, but when she arrives, she doesn’t know the first thing about farming. She knows she has a lot to learn. She will have to know the difference between all the types of plants and vegetables, learn how to wake before the sun comes up, and how to get along with Emmet and Abbie, the two kids whose parents own the Garber Farm. This is Ana’s last chance and she will try her hardest to make it work.
