Not Quite Eighteen

A collection of linked domestic tales follows adolescent girls and their families in a rural New England setting, tracing small incidents—holiday customs, pets, school and social events—that shape character and household ties. Episodes move between playful mischief and local superstitions, acts of kindness, petty rivalries, and explicit moral lessons, often framed by seasonal rituals and village gossip. Humorous encounters with animals, youthful pranks, and household dramas reveal shifting responsibilities and strengthening friendships, while older relatives offer guidance and occasional surprises. The overall effect is a gentle coming-of-age portrait told in episodic vignettes that balance charm, realism, and moral reflection.
