About This Book

A young girl and her companions leave a city for a mountain ranch where travel mishaps, animal encounters, and practical tasks shape their summer. The narrative follows a private rail journey and a drive into the high country, then life on the ranch: rifle practice, a moonlight concert, a horse fair, aid to a shepherd’s cabin, searching parties, and a dramatic confrontation with a grizzly. Episodes blend play and work, emphasizing self-reliance, friendship, and adjustment to rural rhythms, and the season ends with changing fortunes and a poignant farewell.
