About This Book
Three adolescent friends—Azalea, Annie Laurie, and Carin—travel to a remote mountain community to teach, confronting local poverty, stubborn traditions, and daily hardships while forming close bonds with neighbors. Episodes follow their practical efforts in school and farm work, encounters with quarrelsome and quirky residents, a crisis that endangers a child and prompts a dramatic rescue, and the emotional strains of wartime news and small-town rivalries. Through domestic detail and outdoor life, the narrative emphasizes friendship, responsibility, and hope as the girls help revive community life and find new opportunities for themselves.
