Told from the perspective of Roberta “Bobbi” Lylah Karls, this chapter introduces the culture and inhabitants of the Wild Raccoon Farm and provides a peek into Badger River, the nearest town.
Bobbi is the farm’s resident expert in orchard management, which means she knows a little bit about pruning and picking apples. She’s also an aspiring writer who enjoys watching live music in Badger River – unless its beginners performing at the farmer’s market.
Bobbi begins to develop a relationship with Georgia when she is assigned to be the girl’s mentor on the farm.
