Oh God, are you there? I'm down this road again. I can't believe I'm doing this; just get me home. This is crazy--walking down the middle of Des Moines Memorial Drive at 4 o'clock in the morning. As soon as I see headlights I'll jump back onto the sidewalk. I hate those bushes; I feel like someone's going to jump out and grab me. At least this way I can see who's out there while walking in the middle of the damn road. So far so good. I wish Rocky didn't have to work. I know he has to go to sleep but I hate leaving while I still have some stash. It makes my walk home longer. Besides, I hate doing it at my parents' house. Damn wind won't let me light my glass. Stopping is not an option--keep moving, just get homeA[a¬A].

The Orchard is the story of a street-smart city girl who must adapt to a new life on an apple farm after she falls in love with Adrian Curtis, the golden boy of a prominent local family whose lives and orchards seem to be cursed. Married after only three months, young Theresa finds life with Adrian on the farm far more difficult and dangerous than she expected.
