Twelve-year-old Katy Carr is adventurous and mischievous, and although she has a good heart, she often finds herself in trouble for breaking the rules or losing her temper. With dreams of growing up to be someone famous and important, Katy charges through her childhood until, one day, an accident leaves her bedridden, and she must learn the value of patience, thoughtfulness and kindness.
