Description
Its September l936, potato harvest season in northern Maine. Teenager Sarah London (half native American) is already dealing with racial discrimination in her community when illness strikes her family and she goes to work in the potato fi elds with the Oromocto Indians. Tragically, she loses her mother, and when her father leaves town for work, Sarah is forced to stay with an estranged paternal grandmother whom she finds cold and intimidating. Unhappy and bewildered, she runs away to live with an Oromocto family, but her life with them is not what she expects. As she reacts to their way of life, will she reach a new understanding of her own values and self worth?
