When the world around you is falling apart, you must find strength within yourself.

Three years after her father's death, Emeline has settled into life in Indianapolis.

 

Then an urgent visit to her childhood farm in Missouri changes everything. Her manager dies, the economy is in recession, and the caretakers are moving back to Wisconsin. Emeline is suddenly responsible for the farm... and she's out of her depth.

 

With the help of her closest allies, Emeline sets out to turn the farm around until disaster strikes and she must start again. Emeline faces her biggest challenge yet: finding the courage to have confidence in herself.
