From the book back cover:

"Caroline and Jess don't know what to make of their prim and proper grandmother. She's traveled all the way from South Carolina to the Dakota prairie to help out while their pa recovers from a serious accident. Caroline and Jess must call her Mrs. Ravenell instead of Grandmother. They can't believe this stern woman is the mother of their own loving mama, who died just last year. But little by little, as they face spring planting, a prairie tornado, and their shared grief, Caroline sees just what kinds of woman her grandmother really is."
