Strawberry Acres

4.5 stars
A sweet, engaging tale of Sally Lane, only sister to three brothers, who has an undeniable longing to make a home in the country. When they inherit a decrepit old mansion on forty-two acres, she is eager to persuade her brothers to try living in it long enough to fall in love with outdoor life.

Big things happen quietly, and the pen-strokes that portray them are deft and succinct. I always enjoy Richmond's writing.
