★ Moving, unsettling, and full of atmospheric beauty. -SLJ, starred review Mila is used to being alone. Maybe that s why she said yes. Yes to a second chance in this remote place, among the flowers and the fog and the crash of waves far below. But she hadn t known about the ghosts. Newly graduated from high school, Mila has aged out of the foster care system. So when she s offered a teaching job and a place to live on an isolated part of the Northern California coast, she immediately accepts. Maybe she will finally find a new home–a real home. The farm is a refuge, but it s also haunted by the past. And Mila s own memories are starting to rise to the surface. Nina LaCour, the Printz Award-winning author of We Are Okay, delivers another emotional knockout with Watch Over Me about trauma and survival, chosen family and rebirth.
