Harvest — Kristine Kathryn Rusch

The almanac determines traditions in Kerry's family. Only her granddaughter Amanda doesn't want to follow the almanac. And if Amanda doesn't, then the power, hidden inside those traditions, might destroy her -- and everyone she loves. Chosen as one of the best stories of the year, “Harvest” evokes the powerful force of family legacy.

“Like early Ray Bradbury, Rusch has the ability to switch on a universal dark.”
-- The Times (London)
