Klappentext Prudence Burns is an overly idealistic Brooklyn girl who has inherited a derelict plot of land named Woefield Farm. Her motley crew of farm hands consists of Earl, an elderly, reclusive bluegrass legend; Seth, an agoraphobic heavy metal blogger in early recovery; and Sara, an eleven--year-old girl with a flock of elite show poultry. When Prudence is felled by a mysterious health condition, things on the farm begin to fall apart, resulting in valiant and sometimes ill--advised attempts to restore domestic bliss. Will Prudence get well? Will Seth finally get rid of his pesky virginity? Will Earl rescue Sara? And will anyone, ever, admit they might be wrong? Told in four highly distinct, unforgettably hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking voices, Republic of Dirt is about what happens when passions collide with pride and what it takes to save each other, our small part of the planet and ourselves.
