Mila is used to being alone. Maybe that's why she said yes. Yes to a second chance in this remote place, among the flowers and the fog and the crash of waves far below. But she hadn't known about the ghosts. Newly graduated from high school, Mila has aged out of the foster care system. So when she's offered a teaching job and a place to live on an isolated part of the Northern California coast, she immediately accepts.
Maybe she will Finally find a new home—a real home. The farm is a refuge, but it's also haunted by the past. And Mila's own memories are starting to rise to the surface. Nina LaCour, the Printz Award-winning author of We Are Okay, delivers another emotional knockout with Watch Over Me, a modern ghost story about trauma and survival, chosen family and rebirth.
Moving on
Mila is used to being alone, so alone that loneliness seems to be rooted in her. That is why when she's offered a position on a remote farm to teach small children, she says yes. There is nothing to hold her back here, nothing for here but going forward.
What she will find on this farm, with the people inhabiting that farm is something she never thought she could have in her life, something she did not think she deserved. However, this place will also confront her with her painful past.
As always, Nina Lacour brings her a very lyrical and atmospheric story.
