More about the book

Orphans Moon and Sun, nonverbal autistic teens, are brought to a small farm in the Sierra Nevada to be raised by farm caretakers, Jane and Joe. On the farm, surrounded by cats, dogs, and wildlife, the teens discover a freedom never experienced before. They communicate with each other and with Jane and Joe by drawing, sign language, and body postures. Bound by the dedicated care of Jane and Joe and the surprising beauty of nature, the teens thrive on the farm, living in the now. Day in day out, they become more confident, learn new things, and experience less frustration by shaping their own environment and creating their own future. They discover desire and sensual love for each other; their daughter Violet is born out of this love. Things take a wild turn with the sudden arrival of a blood relative, their Uncle Mark.
