When so few rule so many, Americans will crave one thing more than food: freedom.In a not-so-distant future, the American government has effectively seized all means of production for the national food supply. Overseeing oppressive rationing measures, such as bare-minimum breadlines, it is now illegal for a citizen to grow or produce one's one food, due, of course, to the inequity of access to all. There is still one way to grow food, but you must risk everything and seek out dangerous dealers on the black market to do so.

You've heard the old ethical cliche "Would you steal bread to feed your starving family?" In The Last Tomato on the Vine, one family is going to try. The only problem is that, in order to insure their family's future, they first have to gamble it.

The Last Tomato on the Vine is a haunting tale of one family's desperate search for identity, agency and survival. In her sophomore short story, award-winning author Trisha Fenimore will- once again- leave you holding your breath and questioning all your closest-held beliefs.
