Penny and Pamela Kellyhorn each know they have a twin somewhere. Separated at birth and never given any clear information about each other, they both hope to meet some day.

This desire comes true at the county fair. The only clue to who is who is one girl has a light sprinkle of freckles. They have been living a short distance from each other, but the adults raising them chose not to have anything to do with each other due to the history of their past relationship.

Pamela is being raised by her unmarried Aunt Ivory. Her life is one of behaving, behaving like a lady, wearing dresses and doing what is proper. This is all taught to her in love by Aunt Ivory.

Penny is being raised by the girls’ father, Barnabas Kellyhorn. He is also raising their cousin, Barney, as Barney’s parents travel for their work. They live on an island where a lighthouse stands. Penny wears pants and is a bit of a tomboy. She has more freedom than Pam and a bit more carefree life.

The girls find out a little of the history of their separation and plan to bring the aunt and father together. Part of the plan involves swapping places. That way they will both know more about the people raising them and to help on getting their plan to work.

The time and place is the late 1940s in a rural setting. Things are a bit more simpler, but even still there arises a bit of scandal and conflict among the characters.

An enjoyable read and escape to a different time. ( )

Very exciting interesting book for older children. Two girls realize they are twins and the twists being there. The events that take place after that are interesting and will keep you coming back for more.
