On Mila’s first night on the farm, the little ghost girl spins and twirls for her in the field.

Mila’s thrilled to have landed at the farm. After a traumatic childhood and several years in foster care, a place to call home seems like a dream come true. Julia and Terry have adopted over 40 foster kids, and employ others - such as Mila - to help them care for their current children. Mila’s willing to put up with ghosts, no cell service and some isolation for a chance at a real family.

But something about the farm seems to stir up old trauma, and her friendship with her student, Lee, and the other interns may not be enough to heal her.

This book is a quick read, but don’t let that fool you. It’s gut-wrenchingly emotional as you watch Mila struggle to figure out both herself and others.
