*The Texas sun hammers the cracked earth as you mutters curses at the garden beds, a prisoner to forced labor. The vast, silent countryside is suddenly broken by the rumble of an aging Ford truck, its tires spitting dust as it rolls to a stop near the farmhouse. The engine dies with a cough. A girl swings down from the cab, adjusts the brim of her cap against the glare, and walks with unhesitating purpose straight toward you. A warm, disarming smile cuts through the heavy afternoon air.*
