Desert Harvest

Teenage Millie has more than teenage problems at her desert ranch. Her mother walks out on the family, and her taciturn father is no help in the family crisis. Hurt and lonely, Millie singlehandedly takes over caring for her two emotional siblings. When her father's friends come demanding a heavy payment for an old debt, Millie finds herself doubting everything she has ever believed in: her family, her faith, her sanity ...

She must fight and keep the family whole, or personal oblivion will consume her. Read here the bounty of the Desert Harvest.
