When sixteen-year-old Ginny Edmunds' father uproots her family for a summer to take a fellowship at Bennington College, Ginny isn't happy. She's never heard of Bennington, and she's never been to Vermont. She just wishes she could stay at home in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where she has her own friends and even a new boyfriend she's been interested in for years. But at a family-owned store in Bennington, Ginny meets Sam and Ben Morton, the cute teenaged brothers that are being raised to take over the store one day. Immediately, Ginny is intrigued by them and their world. As she also makes other friends, Ginny finds her place in Bennington. Eighteen-year-old Sam Morton hates working at the store. It's been in his family for six generations, and as the oldest son, he's expected to subvert his life to keep the place running. He would rather lose himself in his artwork, but his strict father makes that impossible. When Sam sees Ginny shopping in the store, he notices her immediately. Can Ginny and Sam overcome their differences and their insecurities to move forward with their lives?
