Weed By Night Sarah L Johnson

Fifteen-year-old twins Kaia and Jack meet their grandmothers for the first time when they're dumped like luggage on the front porch of their windy farm. Mom says it's only for the summer, but her eyes say different, and then she's gone. Kaia is curious about her mom's moms and their strange garden, the old barn, and the smoke coming out of their pipe when they sit on the porch in the evenings. The G-units say it's medicine, grown on this land by women, for generations. They say Kaia's mother ran away. They say Kaia should have been born here. They say nothing about her brother. They favour her over her him, and it's not long before Kaia begins to dream.

It's not long before she begins to worry about Jack.
