An inspiring story of four friends: Flossy Shipley, Eurie Mitchell, Ruth Erskine, and Marion Wilbur who decide to go on a frolic to the woods of ?Chautauqua? where ever that may be, for two whole weeks. Each learns in their own way something that will forever change their lives and give them each a new sense of what to live for. This story, written in the 1800?s is based on real people and events. Chautauqua, New York was indeed ?in the woods,? at that time, and I only wish I could have gone as these four girls did. You will learn what Chautauqua was really like through the eyes of people who were there.
