Book Description
For a 16-year-old boy out in the world alone for the first time, every day's an education in the hard work and boredom of migrant labor; every day teaches him something more about friendship, or hunger, or profanity, or lust--always lust. He learns how a poker game, or hitching a ride, can turn deadly. He discovers the secret sadness and generosity to be found on a lonely farm in the middle of nowhere. Then he joins up with a carnival and becomes a grunt, running a ride and shilling for the geek show. He's living the hard carny life and beginning to see the world through carny eyes. He's tough. Cynical. By the end of the summer he's pretty sure he knows it all. Until he meets Ruby.

Book Description
Olive Post's bucolic farm life is already off kilter when she finds a body in the beet field. She suspects foul play, but when the coroner determines the death a suicide, her investigative instincts and years as a crime reporter kick in. Her tenacious pursuit of evidence strains her marriage and places her young children in danger as she uncovers an ominous scheme that threatens her family and their livelihood. Set on an organic farm in Santa Cruz, California--where even the most altruistic are flawed--Beet Fields underscores the importance of vigilance in an era of insatiable corporate agribusiness. With determination and courage, Olive confronts malevolent forces, struggling to restore the constancy in her home that she has worked diligently to create.
