Twelve-year-old Katie, living with her father, aunt, and five siblings in a small town in the 1870's, constantly makes and breaks resolutions to be a kind and generous person like her invalid Cousin Helen, but when she herself is bedridden after an accident, Katie finds her cousin's example very hard to follow.

Finally, I finished this!
Well, let me tell you a story first. I read this for the first time a few years ago from the school library, and I enjoyed it. But then I completely forgot about the title or Katy, I just knew that I read something with a girl who does all sorts of mischief, gets hurt badly, loves to read, doesn't have a mom... that's all. So I went to the “What's the name of that book?” group and some found my answer in a day! I felt so relieved and happy as I've been looking for it for a loooong time. So I picked it up as an ebook. But I didn't have much the time and patience, so when I find out it's an audiobook on LibriVox and Youtube, I went for it. It's read by Karen Savage and she's truly amazing at it! It was so enjoyable. Katy was such an interesting character, and the growth she went through was huge. I liked it, I recommend it to those who want to read some Childrens' classic that has good vibes mostly, especially the audiobook version!
Katie wants to be a better person
but she really doesn't begin to
improve until she becomes disabled.
