As Carolina Sherwood Carter approaches her twelfth birthday, she struggles with the strain of adolescence that all young girls inevitably face. She feels she does not fit in at school or at home, alienated from her family.
The end of the school year signals the start of summer vacation and Carolina's stay with her beloved Grams at Sherwood Plantation outside of Charlotte, North Carolina. While Carolina has many unanswered questions about her life, she soon learns the answers may lie at Sherwood.
Once at Grams, the young girl quickly becomes more aware of a legacy she has inherited from her grandfather. With the help of her Grams, Carolina gains the confidence and the courage to accept her abilities as a gift instead of a curse.
