Every silver lining has a cloud.
Squeezed out of her summer plans with her friends by the Briars estate's new owners, thirteen-year-old Emily must now care for that little boy from Canada's West-while dealing with her own anxieties.
Emily throws herself into the challenge, and her friendship with Jackie blossoms.
But when following up on leads in a book, they discover a threat to their home. Emily and Jackie dig in to fix it.
Hmmm ... When's a win not a winner?
And those pesky Indigenous spirits Emily picked up last winter-they're going wild.
Picking up from the end of The Briars Between in July 1919, the story builds on the author's family and Jackson's Point lore.
This heartfelt coming-of-age tale, set against the backdrop of a turbulent time in Canadian history, may be enjoyed as a standalone novel.
If you love shows like CBC's Anne with an E and the works of Louise Erdrich, you'll feel right at home in this series.
