About This Book

A troop of Camp Fire girls spends a season at a mountain lake, mixing outdoor skills, communal projects, and social life. Their days move between woodscraft and shared responsibilities, punctuated by visits from old friends, unexpected guests, and a reclusive local whose arrival prompts curiosity and compassion. As winter approaches they confront separations, anxious waiting, and holiday gatherings that test loyalties and encourage practical resourcefulness. Interpersonal tensions, emerging romantic interests, and episodes of rescue and reunion drive personal growth and underscore themes of friendship, service, and living in harmony with the natural world.
