When Mia and Jazmin left their homes to take seasonal jobs as trimmigrants in Northern California\u2019s Sonoma County to earn some extra cash, they had no idea the short escapade would change their lives forever. Though violence, sexual abuse, and the illegal marijuana industry of Sonoma County form the central theme of the novel, subplots of Maggie and Bridget\u2019s lives and their sisterly bonds along with issues of relationships, lasting friendship, and enduring family ties illuminate the story further. Rivetti\u2019s research is meticulous, the writing assured, and prose crisp. She portrays Jazmin and Mia with understanding and empathy, making the reader root for the flawed but courageous teens as they prevail their personal traumas through sheer will and resilience. A must read.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">Big Green Country <\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">by Frances Rivetti<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Big-Green-Country-Frances-Rivetti-ebook\/dp\/B081PK7ZDL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buy now<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">Fog Valley Press<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">Pub date November 29, 2019<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">ASIN B081PK7ZDL<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">Price $7.17 (USD) Kindle edition, $18.95 Paperback<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deeply moving, highly engrossing\u2026 Two young women\u2019s trials of physical and mental abuse in Northern California\u2019s infamous emerald Triangle makes the heart of Rivetti\u2019s searing debut.
