Энэ электрон номын тухай
A teenager moves to a remote farm in the Catskill Mountains in 1931 to raise her late aunt's baby in this novel from “a writer of talent and vision” (San Francisco Chronicle).
Leenie is a precocious fifteen-year-old, but her hopes of going to college depend on her mother’s scheme after a family tragedy. Leenie must travel to her late aunt’s home and take care of her newborn cousin, lending support to the baby’s grief-stricken father, Digger. As Leenie gradually, and with difficulty, grows into her new role, she and Digger form a surprising bond of affection. But the new love and community she’s discovered are now at risk from New York City, which considers their remote, fertile valley a promising site for a future reservoir, and the ground under Leenie’s feet could soon be swept away . . .
