Piney Hill is a small, rural community in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Georgia. It was a wonderful place to grow up.
In nineteen-sixty-eight, a little girl who lived in Piney Hill named Brownie kept a diary documenting a year's worth of her life. There were eccentric local personalities, celebrations, and functions to record.
Then, of course, there is the night that the Landers' Place burned to the ground. The fire at the Landers' Place was arson, but who did it?
The events in its wake brought more danger to Brownie than she could ever have anticipated.
