All summer long, Emily Conn dreads starting school. Finally, the time comes for her to join her older sister Laura as a first grader in the little one-room school by the side of the dirt road in front of her home on Mare Creek in Floyd County, Kentucky.

However, when her own life gets caught up in the mystery of a backwoods family, she not only learns reading, writing, and arithmetic, but she also discovers that another culture exists outside her little world.
