Sara and Becky go to Ashfield to spend a month with Becky's family now. Fun times and family histories are discovered.
Despite hating the bitter cold, Sara's friends help her to discover how to enjoy a snowy day. The very first fanfic I wrote all the way back in 2020, not 2019. It takes place the winter after Sara returns from India.
Sara is taking music lessons from Mrs. Carrisford (a former music teacher before her marriage), and Becky tags along, unlocking pleasant memories and the key to confidence.
Arriving back from India in the fall of 1886, Mr. Carrisford doesn't allow Sara to attend Miss. Minchin's school, suggesting a governess instead. This information angers Miss Minchin, of course, and goes to give him a piece of her mind, but as she learns, you reap what you sow.
