The Adopting of Rosa Marie by Carroll Watson Rankin ~ Full Audiobook [family]

The Adopting of Rosa Marie by Carroll Watson Rankin audiobook.

Genre: family

Back at their beloved, tumble-down Dandelion Cottage in Lakeville, four inseparable friends - practical Jean Mapes, dramatic Marjory Vale, tenderhearted Mabel Bennett, and small but spirited Bettie Tucker - are determined to stretch the last warm days of the season into one more round of make-believe housekeeping. Then Mabel wanders too far from their usual haunts and comes home with an unexpected 'foundling': a quiet, sturdy Indian toddler named Rosa Marie. What begins as a game of playing mother turns into something far more complicated as the girls try to feed her, bathe her, entertain her, and keep her presence hidden from watchful neighbors and parents. Disagreements flare, consciences prick, and the Cottage girls discover that real caretaking does not follow the rules of pretend. When a new girl, Henrietta Slater, arrives with different manners and her own private homesickness, the circle of friendship is tested again - and the question of what Rosa Marie truly needs becomes impossible to ignore. Warm, funny, and clear-eyed about childhood loyalty, the story explores responsibility, belonging, and the big feelings that come with small hands trying to do a grown-up thing.
