Description

The Carter sisters have turned a quiet mountain retreat into a bustling weekend camp, hoping to keep their family afloat while their father's health improves. With their home rented out, servants gone, and a modest budget, they set up lodging for city children seeking fresh air, each sister taking on a distinct role—from Helen’s tireless organization to Nan’s newfound vigor. Their cousin Lizzie and brother Lewis help supervise, and the occasional visit from the kindly Dr. Wright adds reassurance that the venture is more than a whim.

Life at the camp is a lively mix of outdoor adventures, spirited conversations, and the occasional comedic mishap. Boys like Frank and Skeeter lend a hand, while the ever‑cheerful Tillie Wingo becomes an instant favorite among the guests. As the girls juggle responsibilities, friendships deepen, and the mountain’s crisp air works its quiet magic on everyone, promising both challenges and small triumphs in equal measure.
