Others like her who call themselves the Guardians are being hunted and manipulated by high-end companies and secret government departments who want to extort their abilities for money and power. Lila is approached by Alex Woods, a fellow Guardian who tries to recruit Lila into a secret government department called Mission Control, which seeks to promote the benevolent use of Guardian abilities to benefit humans. Lila, although reluctant to join, agrees to help Maxwell Eden, the rich father of a missing Guardian who is desperate to reunite with his daughter. Along their quest to find the missing Guardians, they discover ancient creatures thought to be legendary. They help Alex and Lila grow and learn and become strong allies in the fight against the Board. When these high-end businessmen discover there is a new Nature Guardian—considered a rare and powerful talent—they attempt to capture Lila and Alex to add to their collection. Under the surveillance of Mission Control, the constant threat from the Board, the struggles of maintaining her family life, and the excitement of her developing abilities, Lila’s adventures turn her typical suburban life upside down.

But the last we saw Lila, she met a friend at the airport. He took her home, gave her a warm bed to sleep in, and promised to look after her. - Or was that just a lie?

Download or read book Harrow written by Joy Williams and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2022-07-05 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her first novel since the Pulitzer Prize–nominated The Quick and the Dead, the legendary writer takes us into an uncertain landscape after an environmental apocalypse, a world in which only the man-made has value, but some still wish to salvage the authentic. "She practices ... camouflage, except that instead of adapting to its environment, Williams’s imagination, by remaining true to itself, reveals new colorations in the ecology around her.” —A.O. Scott, The New York Times Book Review Khristen is a teenager who, her mother believes, was marked by greatness as a baby when she died for a moment and then came back to life. After Khristen’s failing boarding school for gifted teens closes its doors, and she finds that her mother has disappeared, she ranges across the dead landscape and washes up at a “resort” on the shores of a mysterious, putrid lake the elderly residents there call “Big Girl.” In a rotting honeycomb of rooms, these old ones plot actions to punish corporations and people they consider culpable in the destruction of the final scraps of nature’s beauty. What will Khristen and Jeffrey, the precocious ten-year-old boy she meets there, learn from this “gabby seditious lot, in the worst of health but with kamikaze hearts, an army of the aged and ill, determined to refresh, through crackpot violence, a plundered earth”? Rivetingly strange and beautiful, and delivered with Williams’s searing, deadpan wit, Harrow is their intertwined tale of paradise lost and of their reasons—against all reasonableness—to try and recover something of it.
