About This Book

A young girl from town becomes a ward in a country doctor's household and adjusts to life with a busy family, including a governess and four lively children. She encounters teasing and a cruel practical joke by a pair of mischievous twins, which tests her composure and the family's sense of fairness. By showing kindness and quiet courage she intervenes on behalf of others, and the narrative traces her gradual acceptance, the household's moral reckonings, and the growing warmth and stability of her new home.
