Understood Betsy

From City to Farm
Elizabeth Ann, an orphan, lives a sheltered city life with her father’s Aunt Harriet and Cousin Frances. Her life is turned upside down when she goes to live with her mother’s family, the Putneys, on their family farm in Vermont. Elizabeth Ann is soon nicknamed Betsy as she embraces the rural life. She thrives as she takes on new challenges such as making butter, producing maple syrup, and tending to the animals.
