She wants to fit in with her new friends, but Rose has a secret she can't share with anyone. . . . Lizabeth is Kat's rich cousin who always gets what she wants. But Lizabeth soon finds out that money can't keep her from losing the most precious thing of all. . . . Amanda's mother passed away, and now she keeps house for her minister father. When Amanda meets a very special young man, can she find the courage to be friends with him in spite of her father's disapproval? The quiet New England town of Cape Light never seems to change. But in the year 1905, the lives of these four friends will be transformed in ways they never could have imagined. . . . When she moves to Cape Light, Rose Forbes is eager to make new friends and keep her mother's past hidden. While she quickly finds friends, Rose also faces a new challenge: The only way to save Midnight Star, a horse at her uncle's stable, is to enter a riding competition in which girls aren't allowed to compete. Rose must risk everything by disguising herself as a boy in order to save Star ... but will it be enough? "In 1906, mortified by her mother's suffragist activities that cause the family to move from New York City to Cape Light, fourteen-year-old Rose sees no value in her mother's feminist views until she tries to enter a horse riding competition open only to boys."'--Publisher information
