Description

A bustling winter in the Green Mountains finds Miss Roxy, an aging spinster, desperate for help. When a letter arrives offering cheap mittens, she decides to bring a spry orphan, little Nancy, into her remote hillside home. The arrangement promises work for Nancy’s nimble fingers and companionship for the solitary lady, setting the stage for a delicate partnership forged by necessity.

As the season turns, Nancy is thrust into endless rows of yarn, learning to knit under Miss Roxy’s exacting eye. The quiet evenings once filled with frog song now echo with the click of needles and the soft glow of tallow candles. Through the rhythm of stitching, the girl discovers the surrounding wildflowers and the simple pleasures of mountain life, while the demanding chores test her resolve and shape her growing independence.
