Kay stared at the gray line of stone walls. "They won't be too upset to see these knocked down..." A mystery that threatens the relationship with best friend Anna, a battle with Mother Nature at her worst, and the discovery of a tragic secret-not exactly what fourteen-year-old Kay Telfair was looking for in a summer getaway. But that's what confronts the young teen while helping the owners of Windcrest Farm find a way to stop destruction of nearby farmland and its three-hundred-year-old stone walls. Vacationing with her family and Anna at Windcrest in the quiet, coastal village of Little Compton, Rhode Island, the young teen soon discovers her goal will not be easy. Kay's prospects for helping preserve the valuable land and stone walls look much better after a surprise visit by a boy from her past. With his help, she pours all her energy and passion into the quest, searching for answers in New England's Native American and colonial history and learning some important lessons about perseverance and friendship.
