Maggie, a teenage girl, is invited by her mother to join a family party going to Florida for the winter. The book is written as a journal as she travels with her mother, her sister, Hannah, and their relative, Greta, who is sick and in need of the mild climate, as well as a few others. They travel to St. Augustine and stay in an hotel where they meet several enjoyable characters including Mrs. Anderson and her son Dr. Anderson of Anderson Cottage (now Markland House at Flagler College), and the Plains Indians imprisoned at the Castillo in the 1870s.

Other notable local locations visited or mentioned include, but are not limited to St. George Street, the Magnolia Hotel, the Old City Gates, and Anastasia Island.]]> Sarah Stuart Robbins]]> Boston : Lockwood, Brooks and Company
