Product Overview
With their family finances in disarray and her younger sister’s health to protect, a determined twenty-four-year-old refuses to be separated from the child in her care. Her bold solution is to establish a small school in a chalet beside a lake high in the Austrian Tyrol—far from England, but close to the mountains and a future she can shape for herself.
Before the school can open, its first pupils must be gathered: a nervous girl escaping an unhappy home, a lively younger sister hungry for freedom, and companions arriving from across Europe. Paris, Innsbruck, unfamiliar languages, alpine paths, and the everyday demands of a new household turn an ambitious plan into a vivid shared adventure. As the girls learn to live together, their new home offers friendship, challenge, and the possibility of becoming braver than they ever imagined.
