| 520 | |a "Maggie Brandt, a third-generation farmer, is cultivating a few acres of organic vegetables in rural Colorado--a place where industrial farming reigns supreme--when the Great Recession hits. After months of unemployment, her husband, Fish, takes a job with an oil and gas company, a decision that threatens their once happy marriage and alienates their teenage daughter, Ozzie, a budding environmental crusader. As the wider community organizes against a billionaire outsider who is buying farmland and, more worryingly, water rights in the moisture-starved county, Maggie's grandmother Flora grapples with the painful echoes of her own past. Flora and Ozzie's already close bond deepens as they join a local activist group, but Fish and Maggie's conflicting approaches to surviving circumstances that are out of their control drive them further apart. Faced with intolerable layers of loss, each member of the family is forced to consider what they are willing to compromise and what they are, or are not, able to forgive."-- |c from publisher's website. | ||
