Sam lives a happy life with a family that loves her. Her mother and father, Curie, and Joe, own a lovely farm that houses Sam's brothers, Timothy and Jake, and her best friend, a female pet chicken called Matthew. Life is moving along just as it normally does, going to school, hanging out with friends, and coming home, until Jake suddenly and shockingly goes missing. The family is naturally rattled, but none of them have any idea just how serious Jake's disappearance will prove until Sam and her friends make a discovery in the woods. What are these strange lights appearing in Kansas? What are the Primes? And how on Earth does being a vegan play into any of it?
In Blood of the Last True Heart, John Prince tells a dark tale that encourages a will for compassion towards the nature we find around us.
