Kansas (U.S.A.)

Kansas is the first of the novel’s three settings. It is the state where Summer and her family make their home.

Texas (U.S.A.)

Texas is the second of the novel’s three settings, and is the place where most of the action takes place. It is the state in which Summer and her family take the first of the two “custom harvesting” jobs that they undertake over the course of the narrative.

Oklahoma (U.S.A.)

Oklahoma, which is just north of Texas, is the third of the novel’s three settings. It is the place where the novel’s climactic action (i.e. Summer’s ultimate confrontation with her fears) takes place.
