About This Book

A troop of Camp Fire Girls departs their lakeside camp after nearby woods fire to assist affected neighbors and continue their organized march. The story follows their volunteer work among displaced families, the strain of being mistrusted by those they help, and the practical tasks of sheltering, fundraising, and community rebuilding. Interpersonal tensions test friendships, but steady cooperation, resourcefulness, and small acts of kindness produce reconciliations, unexpected discoveries, and risky adventures—including a mysterious yacht episode—culminating in a personal trial that allows one girl to prove her courage and usefulness to the group.
