If you would like to boil down sap for maple syrup, grind apples for cider or just take a sleigh ride through a blinding snow storm in rural Michigan during the 1930's depression, come along with Sarah Winters. She can do anything her father asks of her - help milk cows, make hay or help a needy neighbor - anything except stay away from Bob Brown. With so many mouths to feed, Mr. Winters couldn't keep an eye on everyone all the time. When he had to send Sarah to California to live with her Grandmother, Sarah met Max on the train. Oops! He told her something she wasn't supposed to know.
