About This Book

A circle of neighborhood girls spend a summer in a loaned country cottage, adjusting from town to rural rhythms and filling days with nature studies, picnics, performances, and small domestic crises. Their outing brings mischievous episodes, quarrels and reconciliations, practical rescues of stranded visitors, and moments of leadership and plain-speaking that reveal growing maturity. Community helpers, humorous mishaps, and an improvised benefit performance knit the group together, and the season concludes with a return home changed by shared experiences.
