On a bright December afternoon in Harmony Village, Jack Minot and his neighbour Jill risk the steepest coast on their sled and crash into the rail fence. Laid up through the winter, they turn their sickrooms into busy places, with clubs, secrets, theatricals and the patient help of mothers and friends, while the village’s young people learn about kindness and responsibility.
