Rural Missouri, a hot summer day on  
the Mississippi River during the Great Recession. The four Fehler sisters want  
to be more than "bug girls" in their family's fourth-generation pest control  
business, but their path is fixed. When the patriarch suddenly dies, and his  
succession goes according to plan but not expectation, they each must plot a  
course for themselves in uncertain and changing times. Through it all, their  
mother, Grace, weighs her own choices, and whether her passion to save her  
family as a doomsday prepper also includes blowing up her world with a  
forbidden romance.  

In their small town and around the  
dinner table, the Fehlers embody Midwestern resilience as they come together to  
save the company's finances and the family's future, and work to preserve what  
they have by evolving as a hive. Once again, _Flood_ author Melissa Scholes Young has  
readers buzzing with the story of an unforgettable family, grieving, and rising  
again.
