About This Book

A small auburn-haired girl named Courage grows up after her mother's death with her machine-shop foreman father and a devoted caregiver. The narrative follows her everyday life and relationships with neighbors and helpers, including Larry, Sylvia, and Miss Julia, through domestic episodes such as a meal aboard a lighter and the discovery of Sylvia's kitchen-garden diploma. Childhood curiosity, practical resourcefulness, and gentle compassion guide Courage as she navigates misunderstandings and helps others, and her quiet acts of bravery gradually win the respect and affection of the community.
