Aubrianna is a fifth-grade girl stuck on her family’s farm in rural Iowa.
Her father is a fire-and-brimstone Baptist.
Her mother is a descendent of the Ancient Greek Bacchae.
Her aunt is the Oracle of Kitsch.
Her sister is super adopted.
It’s time everyone got together and sorted this thing out.
But Aubrianna’s plans look an awful lot like Medea’s.
The corn shakes…
The corn shimmies…
The corn shucks itself.
