Plum Springs

How far will two boys go when the people meant to protect them become the ones they must escape?

Nine-year-old Rusty Travis and his older brother Bo can’t take it anymore. The manual labor forced upon them has worn them thin and callused their hands. Water is rationed and the heat is slowly killing them. They miss their mom.

She lives on the same lot as them but in a different trailer, separated by a single plum tree. They’re not allowed to see her. And now that their dad has gone after their baby sister, Ruby, it’s up to them to do what’s needed for survival.
