It’s 1968. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy have been assassinated, the Vietnam War has reached new heights, the race to Space is fast and furious—and twelve-year-old Terry Morales is leading a quiet life with her Mexican mom in a small town in Southern California. Everything changes when Terry’s absentee father blows into town. Dirk invites Terry to spend the summer with him on a communal farm in rural Oregon, and she accepts, hoping they can become close.
Living off the grid with a group of strangers is challenging, but Terry’s energy and optimism help her fit in. Winning her father’s affection is more difficult than she expected, however. Dirk is distant, elusive, and preoccupied.
An unexpected event makes Terry’s life much harder. Temporary inconveniences become permanent deprivations. Terry is cut off from the past and facing a future with a father who has come to seem more and more like an enemy. Her self-respect, her happiness, and possibly even her survival are at stake.”
