A Little Country Girl
Susan Coolidge
Book Overview:
Candace makes the first long trip of her young life alone. Everything is new, from the ocean views, to the fashionable people she encounters; from the museum-like home, to the unfamiliar cousins. How will she adapt to the new experiences and will she overcome the homesickness she feels? Will she adapt her country ways and enter society, or be an embarrassment to her fine relations? Etiquette and style can be learned; but kindness, common sense and a loving heart are inbred.

Sweet little late Victorian story about a country girl, her city cousins, and the lessons they all learn about living a good and true life.

The chief appeal of the book is its summer vacation, Newport, Rhode Island setting - a place obviously beloved to the author and delicious for an escape read.
