About This Book
A suburban family uproots when the father returns to his rural roots, and the narrative follows Jean and her siblings as they adapt to country life, new schools, chores, and community rhythms. Episodes cover household reorganizing, neighborhood friendships, seasonal pastimes, a barbecue, a haunted-house mystery, and the children’s small romantic developments, while Jean continues studies in textile design and takes on growing responsibilities. The plot emphasizes practical cooperation, youthful schemes, and the gradual coming-of-age of the family’s children as they reconcile personal ambitions with family obligations.
