Then suddenly, for the first time, she was really needed at home to keep house for her eight-year-old brother, Peter, and to tend the blueberry crop.

Through one crisis after another which she must face alone - from the small ones like the enmity of the family cow and her impatience with Peter, to the problem of getting in the blueberries without the expected help - Cass develops and matures emotionally.

A wonderful story by a gifted author about a sixteen-year-old's most important summer.
