They are forbidden to believe in the existence of love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike every other girl, Jess has been taken from her home to live in a government dormitory, where they are forced to pollinate crops by hand with brushes.

She knows there is something horribly wrong with this system built on the hard labor of young girls, a system that forces them to marry and have children as soon as they are able. With smuggled paints and brush in hand, can Jess inspire a revolution?\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaryl Lewis is an award-winning Welsh novelist, children's writer, playwright, and screenwriter.
