It is based on the childhood experiences of the author and portrays life on the farm experienced by typical families living without electricity, gas, or running water. In Millies visit she helps her grandparents and Aunt Susie with chores, such as carrying wood for cooking, pumping water from a well, and picking and canning vegetables. She meets her cousins, plays in the woods and stream, and has fun adventures. The religious beliefs held by the family are evident throughout the visit as Millies grandfather tells stories about his life as a circuit-riding preacher in the 1800s. Her aunt expresses words of wisdom for life that are long remembered.
