Fifteen-year-old orphan Ana Cortez has just blown her last chance with a foster family. It’s a group home next—unless she agrees to leave East Los Angeles for a farm trainee program in northern California.
When she first arrives, Ana can’t tell a tomato plant from a blackberry bush, and Emmett Garber is skeptical that this slight city girl can be any help on his farm. His sister Abbie, however, thinks Ana might be just what they need. Ana comes to love Garber Farm, and even Emmett has to admit that her hard work is an asset. But when she inadvertently stirs up trouble in town, Ana is afraid she might have ruined her last chance at finding a place to belong.

“Author Andi Teran narrates the story herself…[giving it] plenty of charm. Teran engages listeners as Ana’s troubled past threatens her place on the farm…Teran captures Ana’s spunk and determination as she faces closed-minded adults as well as teen issues such as drug use, gangs, and sexual orientation. An especially nice touch is Teran’s gift with Spanish accents and words.”
