# Understood Betsy

By Dorothy Canfield Fisher.

"Understood Betsy" by Dorothy Canfield Fisher is a children's novel published in 1916. When fragile, anxious Elizabeth Anne is suddenly sent from her overprotective city aunts to distant farming relatives in rural Vermont, she faces a world entirely unlike her sheltered upbringing. At the Putney farm, she encounters one-room schoolhouses, maple syrup making, and unexpected freedoms. As Elizabeth navigates her new life among the practical, no-nonsense Putneys, she begins discovering capabilities within herself she never knew existed. But what will happen when her city aunt wants her back? (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
