This intoxicating story sings on every page." -Tanya Lee Stone, NAACP Image Award Winner & Sibert MedalistSunshine Ervila Lee Walston may not know how to read, but she's darn good with her hands and helping out on her family's cotton farm in 1933 Oklahoma. Trouble is, it doesn't matter how hard you work if the rain doesn't come. After the bank takes away her homestead, Sunny and her family move to the small, dusty town of Lark Springs, North Carolina, where they have a chance to start anew.

With help from her smarty-pants sister and some new and interesting friends, will Sunny find the courage to do what it takes?
