She dreams of indulging in ornithology and a visit to an amusement park—a summer of fun before she returns to a final year of high school, marriage, and middle-class homemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut in the country, Garnet finds herself under the supervision of oppressive guardians, her father's wealthy cousin and the matron's stuck-up daughter.
