What an idyllic life Thankful led out on Bright Island, off the coast of Maine. Her parents raised her there with her grandfather, a retired sea captain, until Gramps passed away before this story starts. By this time she's a teenager who has been homeschooled all her life. Her relatives intervene and it is decided she'll go to the mainland to attend high school. Thankful loves her isolated island life and does not want to go!
