When Rose Campbell, a shy and sickly orphan, arrives at "The Aunt Hill" to live with her six aunts, with her seven boisterous male cousins and aunts and uncles living nearby, she is quite overwhelmed. How could such a delicate young lady, used to the quiet hallways of a girls' boarding school, exist in such a spirited home? It is the arrival of Uncle Alec that changes everything. Much to the horror of her aunts, Rose's forward-thinking uncle insists that the child get out of the parlor and into the sunshine. And with a little courage and lots of adventures with her mischievous but loving cousins, Rose begins to bloom.
