Caught between her family's expectations and her own newfound passions, Garnet must decide whose dreams to follow. But an amusement park and roaring dance hall beckon, and her explorations land her where she least expects-enthralled with a beautiful and daring flapper, Isabella. There she finds herself under the supervision of oppressive guardians and her father's wealthy cousin. When Garnet is sent away for the summer to stay with relatives in the lakeside resort town of Excelsior, Minnesota, she discovers a chance to spread her wings. She has Garnet's life all planned out: after finishing high school, she'll marry and tend to the home. Her mother, on the other hand, does not approve of Garnet climbing trees to peer into nests. Growing up in the 1920s, sixteen-year-old Garnet Richardson watches the birds outside her window, admiring their freedom and beauty.
