All that Pearl knows can be encapsulated in one word: Seed. It is the isolated community that she was born into. It is the land that she sows and reaps. It is the center of her family and everything that means home. And it is all kept under the watchful eye of Papa S. At fifteen years old, Pearl is finally old enough to be chosen as Papa S.βs companion. She feels excitement . . . and surprising trepidation that she cannot explain. The arrival of a new family into the Seed communityβparticularly the teenage son, Ellisβonly complicates the life and lifestyle that Pearl has depended upon as safe and constant. Ellis is compelling, charming, and worldly, and he seems to have a lot of answers to questions Pearl has never thought to ask. But as Pearl digs to the roots of the truth, only she can decide what she will allow to come to the surface. Lisa Heathfieldβs suspenseful, scintillating debut features a compelling voice that combines blithe naΓ―vetΓ©, keen observation, and sincere emotion.
