On New Year's Day of 1944, eleven-year-old Jane Eaton wishes for a truck load of surprises for the new year. She longs for excitement and adventure on the Sun-Up, the ranch with the quarter-circle-three-bar brand. February days drag along on the ranch. School days drag-on, too. But as Valentine's Day looms ahead, fourth grade perks up for Jane, followed by a Valentine's Day beyond Jane's imagination. As calving season begins and winter sweeps out, Jane finds a newborn calf at midnight. Gathering the eggs with her sister, Ann, becomes a challenge. An invitation for an overnight visit with a friend begins a course of events that turn family life upside-down and ends in a surprising way. A piano recital takes an odd twist. Meanwhile, World War II rages on. When a mumps epidemic spreads throughout the countryside, what will it mean for the family on the Sun-Up? Will Jane get her wish by spring's end? Read this book and find out.
