【究竟什麼才是真正的家? 以及自己嚮往的模樣。】
自六歲起,Fern就和媽媽住在一個位於紐約上州,離群索居的偏遠牧場。
年幼的Fern非常欽佩牧場主人Dr. Ben散發的智慧,因此日子雖苦,但自給自足的生活仍十分自由快樂。
直到有天夜裡,媽媽沒頭沒尾的帶著Fern離開牧場,並告訴她絕不能再相信Dr. Ben,之後便一路開車直奔加州,途中住進汽車旅館,最後來到海邊小鎮落腳。
心中深信牧場是唯一的家的Fern在暗中悄悄規劃回家的路,不過隨時間過去,Fern發現這裡的一切────圖書館、學校的朋友以及大海都逐漸融入自己的生命中,同時她也意識到牧場裡有些教導根本不是真的。
她應該相信Dr. Ben當初為她描繪的人生藍圖,重新返回牧場。
還是聽從內心底逐漸發芽的聲音,去過一個屬於自己的人生?
Fern’s lived at the Ranch, an off-the-grid, sustainable community in upstate New York, since she was six. The work is hard, but Fern admires the Ranch's leader, Dr. Ben. So when Fern’s mother sneaks them away in the middle of the night and says Dr. Ben is dangerous, Fern doesn't believe it. She wants desperately to go back, but her mom just keeps driving.
Suddenly thrust into the treacherous, toxic, outside world, Fern can think only of how to get home. She has a plan, but it will take time. As that time goes by, though, Fern realizes there are things she will miss from this place—the library, a friend from school, the ocean—and there are things she learned at the Ranch that are just...not true.
Now Fern will have to decide. How much is she willing to give up to return to the Ranch? Should she trust Dr. Ben’s vision for her life? Or listen to the growing feeling that she can live by her own rules?sh is determined to solve the mystery of Mr. N’s past. And maybe get some screentime back, too?
