Cruel Harvest (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

Nellie and I were excited to see the Willoughbys’ truck up ahead. We all arrived at the new place at the same time. This farm didn’t offer cabins to live in, so we made a campsite near our vehicles and slept in the car. The others did the same. The campsite was filled with the noise of the men chopping wood, women making fires to cook dinner, babies crying, and couples squabbling. A spring ran nearby where the children filled jugs and buckets with water for cooking and washing.
In the morning, before the sun came up, we went to work like locusts, picking the field clean. Every day we spent with the Willoughbys, we grew closer and got to know them better. Mable Willoughby insisted that we eat our meals with them, which was a welcome treat.
It usually took several weeks to pick a farmer’s field clean, and then we moved on to the next one. The farmer paid the workers every day at quitting time, so they could have money for a little food and gas for their old cars.
Days turned to weeks, and eventually we broke off from the others.
