Ann McKenzie loves living in Williamsburg. All of her family and friends are nearby, and there's always something exciting happening in the colonial capital. Now that she's 9 years old, it's time for Ann to start acting like a proper young woman, learning how to knit, to cook, and to manage a household.

But there must be some way for her to care for people in the way her father does.
