Every summer thirteen-year-old Meg returns to the berry fields of her grandparents’ Oregon farm. But this year everything is different. Back home, her mother is remarried with a new baby on the way, and Meg isn’t sure where she fits in the family anymore. And now the comfortable familiarity of the farm has changed, too. There's a new girl, Tia, whose father has been hired to run the farm--a job Meg had hoped her army colonel dad would take over when he retires.

During this season of growth, Meg faces the challenges of figuring out what life, family, and friendship are all about. And like the vines in her grandfather’s fields, Meg strives to be a strong branch that bears sweet, plentiful fruit.
