These probably aren’t the books for you if you don’t believe that throughout history, ordinary people just like you and me have wandered into adventures they never planned, certainly didn’t ask for–and couldn’t escape!
But it really happens. That’s the truth. And sometimes the best way to tell that truth is with fiction that’s as real as what actually did happen.

The growers have to shut her up…just like they did her father.
