Aunt Amy

Minnie Brown expects a visit from her beloved Aunt Amy; she does not expect their village walk to lead to a broken-windowed cottage—and a lesson in being a sunbeam.

In the quiet village of Rosedale, Aunt Amy arrives with a generous heart and a wish to make the world kinder. On a walk with Minnie, she points out the wretched home of Mrs. Button and suggests they visit. Minnie hesitates: she has heard that Mrs. Button is quick-tempered and that her daughter, Kate, has a bad reputation. But Aunt Amy believes that people in trouble need help all the more, and asks Minnie to come with her. What does it mean to be a sunbeam to someone living in darkness—and can Minnie learn to shine?
