Eleven-year-old Dasie watches the effects on her family and friends when the lumber mill that supports the town closes its doors.

I got this book in my Easter basket when I was a kid. I would start to read it, then lose it, and forget what I' read. Then I'd find it, several weeks or months later, and have to start at the beginning, only to lose it again. I purchased a copy used on Amazon a year or so ago and sat down and read it as soon as the postman left it. A cute little story, and it brought back happy memories of my childhood.
