Seventeen year old Ellen is trying to keep her family apple farm going after her father died. Her mother and sister aren't interested and would rather sell the farm and move to town. The only farmhand is a diabetic man in his seventies. This story is about relationships, growing up, and accepting change. I didn't really care for it, probably because it made me sad and it's written at the teen level. Might be a thought-provoking book for a teenager.

Promise ItemWork Description
Despite her family's lack of interest, Ellen Todd is determined to keep their farm going after her father's death and grows increasingly reliant on Gabe Chandler, a young man hired as an apple picker
When she wrote in her journal, the words flowed effortlessly as she told of meeting Gabe. What did it mean, this quickening, this awareness of a boy she’d just met today. Ellen could so easily fall in love with Gabe! But their relationship is never smooth. It’s up and down, it’s easy and hard…Life is tough for Ellen. Her father is dead, and she is determined to keep their farm going, but her mother and sister don’t care. They’d rather move to town. Ellen is terrified of losing the farm and Gabe. Can she manage alone? Or will Gabe be at her side to help?
