Understood Betsy

Nine year old Elizabeth Ann has been pampered by her aunts in the city, but when she is sent to live with her Putney cousins on a farm in Vermont, she encounters a whole new set of expectations. 'Betsy' rises to the occasion, growing in independence and resourcefulness, while at the same time winning her way into their hearts.
