Notes:

Story is taken from the author's own family background; liberties taken with a few dates, locations, and characters. Tansy Lee, the youngest daughter of a Norwegian-American family in the 1860's, rebels against old world traditions and convinces her newspaper editor father that she is ready for public school.
