When a sharp-witted, backwoods farm girl's grandfather grows poor in health, the beginning of his hospital visit marks the start of chaos for her family. Upon entering a society full of city-slickers and predominantly male scholars, she struggles to adapt and learn to let go of what she can't control. Aylin Weber walks, talks and breathes a life of philosophy. From the simplicity of streaming water, to the complex ideas of religion, everything and anything she does always leaves her with one more puzzle she's eager to solve. Her father - Homer Weber - helps her through the struggles of life. ***Luis Aller, raised and accustomed to fast-paced urban culture, knows little of what it's like to be on the other side of the railroad tracks. Familiar with the people he sees in town, he doesn't expect the quiet folk of the world to be the wiser men of society. Along with Major Irvine, he's pulled into an unexpected - and unwanted - journey. Not everyone gets the privilege of eating a full breakfast. Some of the best people learn to live and love by the school of hard-knocks. For Luis, everything was easy enough to leave behind until a new person entered the picture. Luis finds that stepping away is far harder than he'd ever realized. *** As quick-footed Aylin and her father try to live life to the fullest each day, they tirelessly ward off the demons that torment them and the world they live in. Aylin's father, a charismatic, gentle man, works for the coal company and tries to produce enough crops for the harvest. He is Aylin's stability when things head up and the only reassurance she knows she can fall back on when she catches herself losing strength. Everywhere Aylin turns, life seems to smack her in the face, laugh, and walk away. Although she can communicate well with more business-minded folk, her blunt personality tends to raise a lot of eyebrows. Honesty usually isn't something that can be sugar coated. As of everything she knows from her childhood, the only true friend she feels she can entrust everything to is her Dad. But what will developing into a young adult bring? Is there another person a girl can trust as much as her father? Once she steps off of her farm and into the street lights, Aylin's country attitude stands out among the more refined and conformed people of Huntington City. The lonesome girl born and bred in the hills of West Virginia fights to do good and has to learn to let people in. In every new adventure, Homer is with her. And she with him.
