California farmer David Mas Masumoto chronicles both the difficulties and the joys of growing and attempting to sell Sun Crest peaches, which, although juicy, are unattractive and don't last long on the shelf. Despite the peach's disadvantages, Mas Masumoto decides against plowing the trees under and allows himself one more year to make the peach a success.
