Joan Lowery Nixon is the award-winning and beloved author of more than 100 books for young readers, including the Orphan Train Adventures, the Orphan Train Children, and the Ellis Island series.

Ann McKenzie loves living in Williamsburg. All of her family and friends are nearby, and there's always something exciting happening in the colonial capital. Now that she's 9 years old, it's time for Ann to start acting like a proper young woman, learning how to knit, to cook, and to manage a household. She prefers assisting her father, Dr. McKenzie, with his patients and working in his apothecary. Ann knows it's unheard of for a woman to be a doctor. But there must be some way for her to care for people in the way her father does.
