Summary:

"A boy hoping to relax. A harvest that needs to be sold. Will his discouragement blind him to the lessons God is teaching? Gary Fitzpatrick is exhausted. After traveling across the country in a fruitless search for the surgeon who amputated his leg, the sensitive thirteen-year-old and his brothers just want rest. But they're barely through the door at home when he learns their mom is busy caring for an abandoned baby and needs them to manage the community garden. Further frustrated when their $500 prize money goes missing, the weary boy is mildly relieved after they get permission to sell their own goods in addition to the produce at market. But when they discover running a business isn't as easy as it looks and an accident gets them kicked out in disgrace, Gary struggles to follow his father's advice and focus on faith. As the weeds of trouble grow wild, can he stifle his anger to remain strong and obedient?"--Page 4 of cover.
