About This Book

A young girl is pulled from the water by a boy and carried to the care of an eccentric elderly woman and her shy nieces, where she recovers and becomes part of their household. The story follows the children's outdoor expeditions, mishaps and rescues on the surrounding landscape, the bonds that form between them, and the gradual uncovering of a family mystery that alters the girl’s circumstances. Episodes alternate between domestic warmth and sudden peril, highlighting courage, kindness, and shifting prospects for the central child.
