Description

Dick and Dolly are nine‑year‑old twins who have spent their early years shuttled between caring relatives after losing their parents. When their aunt in Chicago prepares to marry and move abroad, the children are sent to the quiet Dana homestead in Connecticut, where their father’s sisters—Miss Rachel and Miss Abbie—await them. The twins, practical and inseparable, accept the change with calm curiosity, ready to make a new house feel like home.

The Dana sisters, accustomed to a clock‑work routine, worry that the lively pair might disrupt their orderly world. Their preparations—sunny rooms, a shared playroom, and gentle admonitions—set the stage for a gentle clash of personalities. As the twins step through the front door, their bright eyes and contrasting spirits hint at the small adventures and adjustments that will shape life at Dana Dene, promising a warm tale of family, adaptation, and the quiet excitement of new beginnings.
