Queenie is a shy, imaginative girl who has a passion for making art. She lives with her parents and older sister in a small town in Maine. Queenie is not sure what she wants to do with her life, but she is sure that she wants to be an artist. When her sister leaves for college, Queenie is left alone to care for their parents. She is worried that she will not be able to support them and make art at the same time. But Queenie is determined to find a way to do both. She comes up with a plan to start a business selling her art online. She is not sure if she can make it work, but she is willing to try. In the process, Queenie learns a lot about herself and her family. She also learns how to be independent and stand up for what she believes in.; 8vo; 282 pages.
