World war II is not long past and life is returning to normal in Cape Breton's lovely Margaree Valley. But Jeannie Shaw is lonely. When the Parker family moves back to the valley, Jeannie hopes there will be a girl her age to be her friend. She is crushingly disappointed when the new student at the school turns out to be a boy!. However, all thoughts of friends are put aside when a near tragedy strikes Jeannie's family. Through the hardship she finds friends in the most unexpected way.
