Charlotte Lawson retails the time of when she was eleven, growing up in Vietnam war era Oklahoma on the goat farm her mother shared with her aunt, whom she learns isn’t really her aunt. The farm is run with the help of cantankerous, telling-it-like-it-is, eighty-two year-old Grandma Evee, whom she knows isn’t her grandmother, but is as close to being family as the rest of the eclectic mix that are in her life.
Things start to unravel with the return of her cousin, Daniel, paralyzed from the war. As Charlotte starts to come of age, she begins to see the world in a whole other light, as she learns that things are not always as they seem or ever were, as she thought they appeared to be.

Woodstin Parish
Eve is a newly 18 year old girl living in small-town, heavily Baptist Louisiana in the year 2000. On her 18th birthday her parents' family friend Theo asks her to get to know him better. Only, he's 13 years older, and Eve already has eyes for John, a lonely but kind soon-to-be farmer. Eve takes her life into her own hands several times as she deals with pressure to appease Theo, the willing ignorance of her parents, the consequences of loving John, and a frightening life and death situation. "I didn't say anything the entire ride over, or after they seated us. I just sat with my arms and legs crossed and looked out the window of the booth. Finally, Theo said, "I had to look out for you, you know?" My head snapped back toward him. "How were you looking out for me?" I questioned bitterly. "You'll see. That John Rollings is bad news, Evie." I'll see? Our waitress came to the table, and Theo ordered for me. A chef salad and a water. "I was kind of hoping you wanted to apologize," I said challengingly. Theo didn't like that." Loosely inspired by The Walking Dead and Messengers 2.Complete
