One of an old man's turnips grows to such an enormous size that he needs the help of his wife, a little girl, a dog, a cat, and a mouse to pull it up.

Keeping a job for one year shouldn't be this hard. Vi's sworn off whipped cream, her favorite bra is strung on a tomato plant, and ghost horse Wastrel has galloped back into her nights... Vi's kept her attitude in check--at least on the outside--and kept her job. So far, so good. The mysterious trust fund created by her absentee parents might be attainable after all. But on a hot and sticky day in August, when Vi's hunky boss, Malcolm, is out of town, her estranged parents and long-lost grandfather land on the farm's doorstep with nothing more than empty suitcases and a few scraggly tomato plants. Tempers flare and secrets emerge. Fearing Malcolm will finally lose his patience with her, Vi does her best to keep her grandfather out of the gun safe and her dog out of his precious garden all while trying to curb a lifetime of anger to endure her parents' mystifying visit. But that's the least of her problems. The eye thief is stalking them, and he'll stop at nothing to execute his long-awaited revenge. Vi can barely resist the urge to run out. Will she survive a scorching summer of tomatoes, tango, and terror? Witty, crisp dialogue and plenty of twists and turns will keep you guessing right to the end of this thrilling and emotional sequel to On the Buckle.
