Abigail Walker, a young woman from rural South Carolina, is on the cusp of womanhood, aching to be able to run wild as the younger children do, yet yearning for things she has yet to understand.

Awkward and unsure of herself, Abby is flustered when she meets Harvey Nicholas, a cadet from Clemson College. As summer begins, Abby finds herself constantly in the company of Harvey and falling quickly in love with him.

As rumors of war begin to reach the States, Abby begins to fear what may come for her older brother and Harvey.

I grew up as an only child and was always the sole child around a lot of adults. Books became my best friends. They were the childhood playmates I did not have readily available like children with siblings do.

I distinctly remember my grandmother handing me a pile of books that had belonged to my aunt when she was young. They were to occupy me while the adults were talking or cooking. She kept them on a little shelf in the coat closet for me. This became my haven. We would go to my grandparents’ home and I would go straight to the coat closet and grab my books. I would sit on the floor and be transported to the worlds of the characters.

One book in particular I remember being so enthralled by was Heidi. I couldn’t imagine having the high mountain peaks as my backyard, free to roam the countryside. I related to the hardened grandfather, as mine was also not very affectionate though I know he loved me greatly. I loved to read about her friends and her adventures. I could read Heidi over and over again while I was at my grandparents house.

Eventually I was turned onto the Shirley Temple film of the same name, but nothing could compare to the book that gave me so many pleasant memories in my childhood.

It was my grandma that gave me the outlet to find my love of reading as well.
