Three spirited girls gather on the wide front step of a Louisville home, each a portrait of personality: the thoughtful dark‑haired newcomer in a velvet cap, the lively blonde who knits a bright scarf, and the practical one in a beaver hat. Their banter hints at a budding adventure that will test their ingenuity and companionship, while the house itself buzzes with the lively plans of Mrs. Hargrave, who dreams of fresh décor, a piano, and even love‑birds for her new charge.
Elise, a French orphan rescued by the Red Cross, has already begun to trade wartime memories for American optimism. As she learns to navigate her new family, her kindness and determination draw the other girls into a friendly rivalry that soon turns into a collaborative rally. Listeners will be charmed by the earnest humor, the vivid setting, and the early moments of teamwork that promise wholesome fun and a touch of youthful triumph.
