The beloved author of Across Five Aprils and No Promises in the Wind presents one of her most cherished novels, the Newbery Award-winning story of a young girlโs coming of ageโฆ
Julie would remember her happy days at Aunt Cordeliaโs forever. Running through the spacious rooms, singing on rainy nights in front of the fireplace. There were the rides in the woods on Peter the Great, and the races with Danny Trevort. There were the precious moments alone in her room at night, gazing at the sea of stars.
But there were sad times tooโthe painful jealousy Julie felt after her sister married, the tragic death of a schoolmate and the bitter disappointment of her first love. Julie was having a hard time believing life was fair. But Julie would have to be fair to herself before she could even think about new beginnings...
โHunt demonstrates that she is a writer of the first rank...Those who follow Julie's growthโfrom a tantrum-throwing seven-year-old to a gracious young woman of seventeenโwill find this book has added a new dimension to their lives.โโThe New York Times Book Review
