Unabridged Audiobook
A lovely story of a girl who leaves her plain country home where she has been raised after the death of her parents by older relatives with strict ways. She has been invited to spend the summer at Newport with the family of her mother’s dear friend, ‘Cousin Kate’ as she learns to call her. At first it is hard to find a place in the home and society of the girls of the house because of her shyness and lack of knowledge about what manners were customary. But slowly because of the love shown to her by Cousin Kate, she begins to change. She enjoys many of the summer pleasures of Newport and finds herself fitting into the family, learning to overcome her shyness and learning to stand up for the values she holds from her background and belief. Before long, she finds that she is as useful to them as they have been to her. The reading was very good.
