Don’t ask May Amelia to be a proper lady! There’s no room to be proper when you live in a house full of boys, in the rainiest state on earth, on a farm that’s always on the edge of disaster. Trouble is, May Amelia’s not sure where that leaves her—except as her father’s least-favorite child…and then the family outcast when her well-meaning help leaves the family destitute.
So are girls really as useless as Father says they are? It’ll take all May Amelia’s strength and determination to prove him wrong.
