Read a sample Read a sample Description Details Reviews Whenever you hear the sky rumble, that usually means a storm. For one thing, her research into migrant workers is about to bring her up against some very violent people who emphatically do not want to be researched. Virgil’s relationship with his girlfriend Frankie has been getting kind of serious, but when Frankie’s sister Sparkle moves in for the summer, the situation gets a lot more complicated. Some of them are a great deal more extreme than others-as Virgil is about to find out. Traditional Chinese medicine prizes those parts for home remedies, and people will do extreme things to get what they need. The story keeps your attention and you look forward to anytime that you can pick up.
