Summary | It's 2058, the glaciers have melted, and the prairies have been struck by a catastrophic drought. For goat farmer Willa Van Bruggen, it feels like everything is falling apart. She's desperately trying to keep the farm afloat until the new water pipeline arrives, but her son has gone to work for the pipeline corporation instead of returning to help with the family business. To make matters worse, he has revealed long-concealed secrets about his grandfather's death that shatter her world, destroy her understanding of the past, and even threaten her grip on reality. |
