About This Book

A sixteen-year-old girl moves with her family to a dry mountain town so an ailing aunt can recover and finds herself owner of a small wooded tract with a cabin and waterfall. Accustomed to sheltered city life, she confronts the unfamiliar rhythms of the West, learns to ride and to rely on a helpful local youth, and spends her days exploring the hill and its trails. The narrative traces her practical adjustments, growing independence, and evolving ties to the landscape and the community as she discovers what ownership and responsibility mean in a rugged setting.
