The Golden Road
Book 2 of the The Story Girl series
The King cousins return for another year of games, quarrels, celebrations, and stories at the Prince Edward Island homestead. Guided again by Sara Stanley's imagination, they create a household magazine, pursue ambitious resolutions, and mark the seasons while the adults' decisions begin reshaping their shared world. Humor and youthful confidence are tempered by the knowledge that this particular chapter of childhood cannot last. Cozy and wistful, this sequel is especially lovely in late autumn or at year's end for readers drawn to cousins, country traditions, and the bittersweet closing of a golden season.
