About This Book

A young woman returns to her family house and sets about arranging a lively weekend gathering, sending invitations and organizing rides with her friends. Preparations ripple through a small mountain community, bringing music, riddles, humorous domestic scenes, and a cast of local characters into play. The plot weaves together the discovery of a distressed stranger by a lily pond, the mysterious loss of money belonging to an aunt, and the practical counsel of a kindly farrier. Neighborhood visits, confidences, and kitchen-table talk gradually unravel the puzzles, and the story concludes with the recovery of explanations and a restored sense of harmony and cheer.
