Rosalind, youngest of the spirited and intelligent Kemp girls, discovers that she can see into the future. She tries to reject her position as seventh daughter of a seventh daughter by dressing and acting like a boy--with results both comic and poignant. Time (eve of World War II) and place (small-town Ontario) are vividly evoked, and Ros is a highly sympathetic character.
