This book just has so much to talk about an yes it is not a true story but it really could be in lots of ways. Jessie loves to work on the farm, but the Bishop and her brother think that it is wrong. Men are to do the outside work and the women work an learn from the mother, how to take care of the children as they come along an how to run the house.
Jessie's father saw nothing wrong in the way she was, she has a set of twin brothers, Arden is not a nice person he has this thing that male roost the home even with his sisters an mother. The other twin, Amos could not get along with his brother an he left the home an community an did not really look back, oh he loves his family but he knows that his Step Mom loves Arden more but can not understand why.
Jessie also had a special man in her life, Silas but it was just getting so bad that she had made up her mind to leave also, she tried to get Silas to leave with her but he said no.
Jessie left and got a job working in a bakery an also went on to get her GED and worked her way up into a fairly good job an also had a new man in her life, but inside she didn't feel love for him, she tried.
One day three years later when she came to work one day, her phone went off but she didn't heed it any attention right away. She thought that it was her dad saying that he was going to come an see her, he had been doing that over the years.
It was her younger sister with some very sad news for her, about their dad. Jessie went to Tom an then to her boss saying that she had to leave right away, she was after all these months needed at home, she was scared to go back but she had to.
