Description 271 pages ; 20 cm Contents Every girl dreams of being part of the line -- the chosen seven who tunnel deep into the mountain to find the harvest. No work is more important. Jena is the leader of the line -- strong, respected, reliable. And -- as all girls must be -- she is small; her years of training have seen to that. It is not always easy but it is the way of things. And so a girl must wrap her limbs, lie still, deny herself a second bowl of stew. Or a first. But what happens when one tiny discovery makes Jena question everything she has ever known? What happens when moving a single stone changes everything? Summary Every girl dreams of being part of the line - the chosen seven who tunnel deep into the mountain to find the harvest.
