Eight-year-old Molly and her ten-year-old brother Ralph live in a Los Angeles suburb where they are sheltered by their mother after they are left weak by scarlet fever. One summer, she relents to allow them to visit their Uncle Claude's ranch in Colorado, on the condition that they are not to go horseback riding or engage in "perilous amusements". Although fearful, the pair resolve to use this opportunity learn more about the world they have been missing. They return each summer for several years, providing a contrast between their dull suburban school years and the challenges of ranch life as the children grow into adults. [2]
