About This Book

A group of young women from a western ranch enroll at an eastern boarding school near Sleepy Hollow and navigate homesickness, new customs, and shifting friendships. The narrative follows their daily life at Primrose Hall—late‑night confidences, thoughtful gifts that recall home, jealousies over popularity and leadership, and moral tests of loyalty and ambition. Election contests, social misunderstandings, and personal temptations reveal character differences and prompt reconciliations, leading each girl toward greater self‑knowledge and a reordering of relationships as they readjust to school life and to one another.
