Following one familys momentous move from the city to rural Maine, an unexpected bond develops between twelve-year-old Reena and one very ornery cow. When Reena, her little brother, Luke, and their parents first move to Maine, Reena doesnt know what to expect. Shes ready for beaches, blueberries, and all the lobster she can eat.
