Customer Reviews

It's 1954 in Small Town USA, Texas.....

And you are thirteen years old, starting to high school after your summer break is over, and your parents' marital problems are brewing. To escape these growing tensions, Katie Sheridan sought refuge under a hackberry tree in the lawn of the town's old-maid recluse, Miss Ina Fay Bagley. Miss Bagley has not been out of her house in 23 years. Katie makes it her goal to re-introduce the outside world to Miss Bagley. Will Katie be successful? The book opens during the summer and it is Christmas at the end chapters. Katie matures in many ways over the book's duration. A very worthwhile read for both the young and the adult reader.
