Found shivering on a city sidewalk with only her cat, Deborah, the orphaned little girl named Clematis is discovered by a kind policeman who brings her to a children's home. There, she suffers from a mysterious, baffling illness that doctors cannot diagnose. A new physician, Dr. Wyatt, eventually discovers that Clematis's condition is linked to her deep longing for the country; her health improves when she is allowed to think of flowers and fresh air. However, her recovery is interrupted when she runs away, walking miles to the cottage of Mr. Brooks, a lonely man who had wished for a granddaughter. Mr. Brooks takes her in, and as they bond, the truth emerges: Clematis is the lost granddaughter of Mr. Brooks's sister. Reunited with her grandfather and her cat, Clematis moves to a beautiful white house on a hill, finding the family love she had desperately sought. The story concludes with her thriving in her new home, ready to share her fairy-tale-like journey with friends. The narrative highlights themes of resilience, the healing power of nature, and the redemptive nature of unconditional love. Through the kindness of strangers and the discovery of her true heritage, Clematis transforms from a frightened, sick child into a happy, useful girl who learns to do her best despite her difficult past. The tale serves as a heartwarming reminder that even the most lost and broken individuals can find a place to belong when met with compassion and understanding.
