But as small-town gossip takes root and Persephone’s lies grow like weeds, the things that once bloomed for her are wilting instead. She is certain she’s carrying out a dream Levi never got the chance to see to fruition. So, when she stumbles upon Levi's unfinished application submitting their hometown of Coulter, Wisconsin, to Small Town Revival-the famous makeover show with a large financial prize attached-Persephone forges her older brother's signature and sends it in. She would give anything to change things for her family, but unfortunately, money doesn’t grow on trees. But lately, between the accident that left her older brother, Levi, with an irreversible brain injury, a messy fight with her once-best friend Mya, and a pile of lies growing faster than the stack of medical bills she collects from the post office every day, Persephone is stuck. Thirteen-year-old Persephone Pearl Clark has never met a plant that wouldn’t bud or bloom for her. In a magical story that blurs the lines between reality and the fantastic, Persephone Clark has a talent for making things grow, but in the wake of her brother's accident, the only things growing are the lies and secrets she's been keeping.
