Readers of A Flower Blooms on Charlotte Street have eagerly awaited more adventures of the delightful Ociee Nash, the imaginative and spirited girl who came of age at the turn of the twentieth century. After moving to Asheville, North Carolina, following her mother's death, Ociee now returns to her father's home, hoping to find life as it once was. But everything has changed. The farm is gone, her brothers are growing up, and her father's world is different than she remembers. She must also say goodbye to Aunt Mamie, Mr. Lynch, and her dear friend Elizabeth.

Back home, Ociee brings her own bright twist to every moment, just as only this blonde, curly-haired girl can. While she is grateful to be reunited with her loved ones, an unexpected encounter awaits-one that will transform her life forever.
