About This Book

A young girl sent to stay with her grandparents on Cape Cod navigates the rhythms of rural family life, making a small attic room her private refuge and exploring barn and attic treasures. The narrative follows her daily experiences—household meals, local gatherings, new friendships, small embarrassments and fears, outings to Provincetown and the woods, and seasonal chores like crabbing and picking chickens—while she learns to belong and reconcile city habits with country customs. Episodes emphasize domestic detail, intergenerational relationships, childhood imagination, and the gradual softening of homesickness before a final farewell.
