During the last few months of 1899, Callie Vee Tate struggles to find her place in the world. Growing up in a sleepy Texas town, Callie becomes enchanted by the nature surrounding her and forms a close bond with her grandfather, an amateur naturalist. In the meantime, her very proper mother hopes that Callie will learn sewing and cooking and grow up to be an excellent wife and mother. How does Callie come to terms with these pressing forces in her life? In addition to Callie's story, this book is filled with inspiring and humorous episodes: natural wonders and early love misadventures.
