Leslie Goldthwaite goes away for a summer in the mountains with cousins and fashionable friends, and finds herself weighing their round of dress and gossip against the lives of the hill-country people nearby, among them a deaf girl and her plain-spoken mother. Small choices about friendship and kindness become the real story of her holiday.
