Understood Betsy

A total life change. That s what Elizabeth Ann gets when she goes to visit her Vermont relatives, the Putneys. First of all, they call her Betsy, instead of Elizabeth Ann. But they don t just change her name. They change her whole life. Things she has never done before, she is suddenly expected to do things like driving a wagon, taking care of kittens, and doing her own hair. At first Betsy doesn t know what to think. And then she realizes that life on the Putney farm is much more exciting than life in the prim old city house."
