Hey all, I seem to have been away for quite a while. Oops! Anyhoo, my reading has picked up again a bit, so I'll be able to contribute something worthwhile to the discussion (or, continue contributing worthless comments as always). Good to be back!

Okay guys. I need help with the title of a book I read...about fourteen years ago. My cousin gave it to me to read, and she had it from when she was a kid, so I'm guessing this was printed (this edition anyway) in the 1970s. All I can remember of the story is that a young girl goes to live...
