Sixteen-year-old Honor Augustine is determined to save her family's greenhouse and keep her veteran father afloat, even if it means breaking the rules--and a few laws

Ages 14 & up

Honor Augustine is an academic all-star, avid recycler, and dedicated daughter to her PTSD-afflicted father. When she discovers her father's VA benefits drying up, coupled with a terrifying bank letter threatening the family's greenhouse business, Honor vows to find a solution. She just doesn't expect to find it on the dry erase board of English lit: "Nature's first green is gold." The quote becomes the seed of an idea, one that could germinate into a means of survival. Maybe marijuana could be more than the medicinal plant that helps quiet her father's demons. Maybe, it could save them all. What lengths we will go to for the people we love? -- adapted from jacket
