Suddenly a girl finds herself coming of age in a landscape that could not be more foreign to her. On her great-grandmother's farm Lou finds her first true friend; learns lessons in loyalty, tragedy, comic, and audacious. When a dark, destructive force encroaches on their new home, Lou and her brother are caught up in another struggle--a struggle for justice and survival that will be played out in a crowded Virginia courtroom.
