Anita and the Driftwood House

Ten-year-old Anita and her parents are going to Grandma and Grandpa Thorntons so Daddy can rest and regain his health - maybe even get that book started. The family is going to live in the old shack out by the orchard. However, when Anita befriends an old "wanderer", everything changes. Anita inherits a house made of driftwood on MacAllister Island, she gains a brother and she uses her talent for poetry to inadvertently cause trouble. Then, the most profound change takes place in Anita as she discovers that God will give her courage in all kinds of situations.
