Dilly West has been ill for so long, she can’t remember what it’s like to feel well; and the oppressive Tennessee summer heat only drains what little energy Dilly has. But kindly neighbor Mrs. Hammond has a solution. She whisks Dilly up the mountain to the Monteagle Sunday School Assembly, where the temperatures are cool and the pure air works as a tonic on Dilly’s health. Soon Dilly is thriving and learning to read the Bible for the first time in her life. And before the summer is over, Dilly will find an unexpected way to repay Mrs. Hammond for all her kindness.
