Review by: Barbie

I really liked this Anne Rivers Siddons book about the Low Country. Emily is a twelve year old girl who loves her dog and training dogs. She is almost raising herself since her mother left when she was three. Her favorite brother, Buddy, seven years older than she, has died. He father hardly knows that she exists. Yet, Emily is a very likeable character. Her Aunt Jenny is sometimes there to comfort her, much as my Aunt Rose was and has been for me. Life on Emily's plantation changes when debutante Lulu Foxworth comes to live. A very nice summer (or anytime) read.
