I really wanted to like this. But despite interesting ideas and descriptive writing, the story itself falls flat. Too many random problems with convenient solutions, characters without depth or growth, and a structure that made me feel like I was reading a tv show. Shame, because there was a lot of *almost* that I really wanted to see developed.

This novel is centered around family - after her father passes away, Charley inherits a sugarcane farm in Louisiana and with grim determination, she sets out to farm it. Charley's brother, Ralph Angel, is resentful of her inheritance without fully understanding the stipulations that accompanied it. As this book progressed, I liked Ralph Angel less and less and wished Charley would disengage with him completely. Overall, this novel had some great moments, but the pace felt too slow at times too.

Charley's father dies and upon settling his estate, she finds he has sold all of his California income property and purchased a Sugar Cane farm with the stipulation that she farm it or turn it over to charity.

Charley heads back to LA with her daughter Micha (who is a rude spoiled kid) and works to turn the farm into a profitable business,

Her brother gets into trouble (as always) and heads to LA as well...

Charley's Grandmother forces Charley to hire him and his unrepentant mean attitude, jealousy, & nastiness just causes his family even more problems.

The ending is very improbable and most unbelievable.

The book had a good premise, but it was flat and the characters unlikable.
