Twelve-year-old Sara and her brother Hawk are told that they are not to bother the man'the Mister'who just moved into the silo apartment on their farm.

Mama told them no way, no how are they to bother The Mister unless they want to be in a mess of trouble. Trouble is, trouble is the last thing Sara and her brother need. Sara's got a condition, you see. Marfan syndrome. And that Marfan syndrome is causing her heart to have problems, the kind of problems that require surgery. But the family already has problems: The drought has dried up their crops and their funds, which means they can't afford any more problems, let alone a surgery to fix those problems. Sara can feel the weight of her family's worry, and the weight of her time running out, but what can a pair of kids do? Well, it all starts with'bothering The Mister.
