About this ebook

Becca Collins is a pistol, as they call such an irreverent, outspoken, and independent woman in 1976. As an outreach worker to migrants and seasonal farm workers who toil near her adopted home in upstate New York, she simply wants to do her job well - but fierce devotion to her clients is precisely why she’s in danger now.

Quite by accident, she stumbles across a gruesome murder. Becca is now the target of threats and violence from those who would keep their actions secret. Alone and afraid, she welcomes Jack Hightower, a highly regarded football coach, into her life. In his company and with his support, she dares to dream of love and life beyond the terror of these frightening days.

Four decades later, not much has changed for the three-and-a-half million migrant farm workers who labor unsafely in America’s fields. Then and now, children as young as ten (and many younger than that) are allowed to work to help feed their families.
