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.

This book was really something. It's about a girl named Meg and she has a tough decision to make. She is staying at her grandparents' berry field for the summer. Her dad is coming home from the military. She has to decide whether she moves with him to Washington or to stay with her mom, step dad, and the new baby on the way. Very tough decision. She meets a new friend from Mexico named Tia. They help each other to remember to bear fruits of the spirit. This book was really great and I recommend it to EVERY teenage girl.
