In this collection of poems, Jennifer Lagier transports readers to California's rural Central Valley during the 1950s and '60s, a time of transitional upheavals. Her poetry explores disintegration of the nuclear family, a young girl's traumatic journey into womanhood, stifling cultural and religious influences, small town sensibilities, and the toxic legacy of pesticide poisoning.
