The girls have two choices: Serve time in prison, or work on a farm at an experimental juvenile detention program. All have different pasts (a dealer, junkie, recluse and thief) but the four girls choose to work on the farm.

Ellie and Donna, the women who run the program, believe that “mistakes should not exclude you from the best possible future.” From the beginning, three of the girls find this “punishment” has not only helped them turn their lives around, but has brought them closer together and help them discover strengths that they didn’t know they had.

All want to get rid of their pasts and move on, except one. She has something against the women who are in charge of the farm because of a deep dark secret. With her rebellious streak, could one girl demolish everything that the other three have worked so hard to overcome in the past twelve weeks?

Be sure to pick up a copy of Getting Somewhere by Beth Neff (in stores now) to find out.

If you could back and change one mistake you made, would you? Blog about it, babes.
