Summary
From an award-winning author comes a story about the lines you would cross to save someone you love. When a sixteen year old overachiever faces an impossible choice, she is forced to risk it all to save her family.
Sixteen-year-old Honor Augustine never set out to become a felon. As an academic all-star, avid recycler, and dedicated daughter to her PTSD-afflicted father, she's always been the literal embodiment of her name. Coloring inside the lines is what keeps Honor's chaotic existence orderly.
But when she discovers her father's VA benefits drying up, coupled with a terrifying bank letter threatening the family's greenhouse business—Honor vows to find a solution. She just doesn't expect to spot it on the dry erase board of English lit—"Nature's first green is gold."
The quote by Frost becomes the seed of an idea. An idea that - with patience and care—could germinate into a means of survival. Maybe marijuana could be more than the medicinal plant that helps quiet her father's demons. Maybe it could save them all.
