Above the harvest moon

the long version

Hannah Casey and her mother Miriam have lived with her aunt and uncle since her father's death, but it is not a happy home. Hannah escapes to her friend Naomi's house whenever she can, and on her sixteenth birthday she begins to court Naomi's brother Adam, but when she flees her uncle's advances, it is the damaged, taciturn Jake, Naomi's older half-brother, who becomes her protector. Hannah has always felt tongue-tied in Jake's presence, but when he takes her to the farm where he works her feelings begin to change. Will those feelings be reciprocated ... and will Adam accept her change of heart?
