Now that Dad's gone, I'm starting to see just how much this town has changed. Back in 1985, Bower was a thriving farming community in Northern California. Ten years later, it's clear something shifted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the estate gets sorted out, I take a job as an aide in the special education class at my old school. I don't expect to love it, but I do. My student, Donny, is incredible-his antics provide a welcome distraction from the weight of my grief.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis town may have lost its farms, but it hasn't lost its ability to surprise me. Some surprises are good.

But I need to be here. I need familiarity, something I've only found here. Farms that once thrived have folded. Processing plants are shuttered. Recognizable faces have disappeared.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI thought knowing every back road and street corner would make it easier. It doesn't.
