She lives with her husband and, on occasion, some. Shoshanna has always watched over her sister and once again she has to watch over her ailing mother. Laura Hurwitz is an author of six travel-essay books, award-winning childrens books, and young adult fiction. But as Ella grows worse and worse, events conspire to leave them to face a choice they never could have imagined. The girls don’t wish to leave the only stable home they’ve ever had. Confused and paranoid, Ella is convinced that she and the girls must leave before Adam finds them and extracts revenge. Then their mother’s crippling depression returns. Finding a safe haven at the farm of kind, elderly Avery Elliot, the four of them find some measure of peace and stability. Their mother, Ella, takes them to San Francisco, where they meet one of her old friends, Judy, and the four of them decide to head off and try to make a life together. In 1970, as the hippie movement is losing its innocence, Shoshanna and her six-year-old sister, Mara, escape from Sweet Earth Farm, a declining commune, run by their tyrannical and abusive father, Adam.
