Description: Seed is an isolated community under the watchful eye of Papa S. At fifteen, Pearl is finally old enough to be chosen as Papa S.'s companion. The arrival of a new family into the Seed community-- particularly the teenage son, Ellis-- only complicates the life and lifestyle that Pearl has depended upon as safe and constant. Ellis he seems to have a lot of answers to questions Pearl has never thought to ask. But as Pearl digs to the roots of the truth, only she can decide what she will allow to come to the surface.
