Fifteen-year-old Rachel Moore believed rebuilding her dead father’s forbidden tractor design might save her grandparents’ Kansas farm from foreclosure, but the machine concealed more than rust, debt, and unfinished engineering. After secretly dismantling the only tractor keeping the family alive, she discovered that her father had died not because his invention failed, but because pride forced him to work alone. Rachel’s modifications produced astonishing power, exposed a deadly fracture, and nearly killed her in a ditch before her grandfather learned the truth. Yet saving the farm would require more than mechanical brilliance: Rachel would have to survive public humiliation, accept responsibility for a devastating mistake, challenge a wealthy rival, and decide whether honoring her father meant remaining on his land or leaving it behind.
