About This Book

A lively circle of young friends from an Eastern town travel to a Texas ranch for the summer, where arrival and farewells lead into a sequence of pastoral episodes. The narrative follows Genevieve and her companions as they adapt to ranch routines, encounter cowboys and local characters, face a frightened bronco and a mysterious newcomer, and manage accidents and practical tasks. Moonlit prairie scenes, small-town gatherings, and everyday challenges prompt lessons in responsibility, courage, and friendship as the girls learn by doing and bridge their Eastern manners with Western life.
