Haley thinks highly of herself and doesn't take kindly to people hurting the people she cared for. That includes the local farmer that she befriended. she doesn't know how to handle when he passes and his granddaughter, that abandoned him, shows up trying to take his place in the community. Write's notes: I always thought there could be more context to why Haley was so mean to the new farmer other than just - mean girl. Here is a starting idea. The lays a foundation. Please excuse and grammatical or spelling errors. Thank you!
