Bookroo's summary

In 1830, young Phebe Fairchild is sent to live with her strict Puritan relatives in Connecticut while her parents embark on a sea voyage. Stripped of her beloved Mother Goose book, Phebe must navigate a world of rigid rules and hidden family secrets. Can she find a way to hold onto her imagination and spirit in a household that forbids such freedoms? As she uncovers more about her family's past, Phebe's journey becomes one of self-discovery and resilience. What truths will she uncover, and how will they change her forever?
