Sarah is a big-hearted, imaginative young girl whose father is an army officer. They have a wonderful life together, rich with not just money, but love and fun. When Sarah's father goes off to war, he enrolls her in a boarding school with a bitter headmistress who disapproves of Sarah's imagination and free spirit.


One day, Sarah recieves the terrible news that her father has been killed in action, and Sarah must become a servant at the school since she no longer has her father's money. Although she now lives in a cold attic and does servant's labor, Sarah's spirit and imagination are alive and well.


This is a sweet, beautiful story about the resilience of the human spirit, and how kindness and friendship can take you through anything.
