Katy is a girl who is turning into a young woman. She takes pleasure being outside, running, creating stories, and making decorations out of plants and flowers. Aunt Izzie wishes, above all, to tame her wild niece. The other children in the family seem to follow and do whatever Katy has in mind. This results in extra laundry and mending much of the time. Shortly after a visit of their Cousin Helen, Katy suffers an accident that changes the course of not only her life but the family as well.
Most accidents and other occurrences in our lives are out of our control. What is in our control is how we respond to them, determining how we treat those around us during the tough times. This concept seems to be the theme of the second part of the book. It’s an easy-to-read book. Girls in later elementary school would be a good age to read it but girls who are younger would probably enjoy having it read to them.
