Sixteen year old Mildred Keith moves with her father, mother, and seven brothers and sisters from their home in Landsdale, Ohio, to the small riverside town of Pleasant Plains, Indiana. Mildred's maiden great aunt, Wealthy Stanhope, travels with them.
A life very different from the one they had known awaits them on this new frontier. It is a plain and simple life with hard work, but visits from Indians keep thing lively. Recommended for ages 10 to 14.
