This book is so beautifully written, and it doesn’t hurt that it takes place along the picturesque cliffs of Mendocino, CA. The main character, Mila, has been in the foster care system since she was young, and when she finally gets a chance to make a home of her own on a farm in Mendocino, CA, she takes it.
Mila accepts a position to intern at a farm, teaching math, English, science, and history to a young boy named Lee. She is overwhelmed by the hospitality but can’t help but notice the dancing ghosts that haunt her as she walks back to her cabin at night. What do these ghosts mean? I found Mila’s story to be a moving read that provides a young, yet mature perspective on longing for a place to belong. I read Watch Over Me in just a few short hours, yet Mila’s story still stays with me to this day.
