We All Fall Down

I'm not invited to the family meeting that decides my fate, and when it's announced that Dad's retiring and I'll be taking over the farm, I know exactly what this is: A rescue mission. My brothers are tired of dragging me out of the bottom of a bottle, where I can predictably be found drowning my sorrows.

When Beckett's brought in to manage the transition, you might say it doesn't go smoothly. I can't stand that my family's hired a business consultant to babysit me. I know they fear I'll run the farm into the ground, and maybe I take my anger out on her... but I'm surprised when she gives it right back, and soon I'm looking forward to our arguments more than I should.

We were set up to be enemies from the start, and I tell myself I can't wait for her to finish out her contract and go back to Texas. But Beckett has secrets, some that followed her all the way to Minnesota, and I discover my life wasn't at all what I thought.
