Greenacre Girls

"Greenacre Girls" by Izola L. Forrester is a story from the early 1900s that follows the Robbins sisters—Kit, Jean, Helen, and Doris—as their lives are turned upside down by their father's sickness and the family's move to the countryside. The story centers around family relationships, getting through tough times, and the big change of going from city life to a more rural one. As the book starts, the girls are dealing with the stress of their father coming home after being sick for a long time, showing how each sister reacts in her own way, like Kit who tries to stay positive and Jean who quietly takes on a lot of responsibility. The story shows their everyday lives, like making plans for a Valentine's Day party and worrying about their mom, all while they're nervous about what's going to happen next. When Cousin Roxana comes to visit, she brings some laughter and good advice to help the family through this hard time. Even though they're worried about what the future holds, the girls are also looking forward to starting a new life.
