Book excerpt: Aaron is excited to spend another summer working as a farmhand on a dairy farm. It’s something he’s been doing for years, spending his summers working for Ben and Olga, spending the long days in the fresh air and sunshine, getting better pay than he made as a teacher’s assistant during the school year. But this year is different. Olga passed away and Ben has fallen ill, and is now on his deathbed. Now, running the farm, is Steve, their oldest son. He’s a cruel, heartless boss, and it’s not long before all of the farmhands quit—all of them except for Aaron. And Aaron would quit, if he hadn’t discovered that he had been named in Ben’s will. When Ben passes, Aaron will get a piece of everything, as long as he’s still an employee. Steve wants Aaron gone, and is looking for any excuse to ensure the big inheritance stays in the family. Aaron is prepared to stay, no matter what Steve tries to throw at him. But that all becomes a little more complicated when Aaron’s body starts… changing.
