Following a traumatic experience at a veterinary clinic, Sophie becomes aware of her oddity, causing her to feel flawed and ugly. Despite the unconditional love of eleven-year old Abby, Sophie"s spirit is severely crushed. From the farm"s poorly selling gourds, Abby and her grandfather create Purple Martin houses. In time, Rod, the Purple Martin scout, arrives to claim the gourd pole site. It is then an unfathomable friendship develops and a series of extraordinary events occur that lead to Sophie"s discovery of her "divinely sown inner seeds." The book is written in an authentic southern vernacular that reflects the nostalgic farm life of Crimson Sweet watermelons, a whole hog barbeque, and church. Combining realism and fantasy, the author has created an enduring story that is believable and conveys an important moral for the reader to learn. Rod"s profound words best express the principle, "The unwise eyes value appearance and outer forms. The wise eyes value the heart and inner spirit."
