About This Book

A young girl sent from town to live with a clergyman's family in the highlands keeps a diary of two years spent recovering from nervous illness. Removed from former ambitions to become a writer, she rediscovers physical vigor through skiing, skating and outdoor play, makes friends among local girls, and experiences both wonder at and alienation from the vast fells. Household expectations and relatives' plans for her future clash with her restless imagination, and the diary traces small, often bittersweet steps toward maturity and return home.
