Synopsis

Jane Stuart lived at 60 Gay Street, Toronto, for as long as she could remember. But life in Grandmother’s dreary old mansion was anything but gay. Even dear, beautiful Mother, who went from party to party, always seemed so sad.
For years, Jane believed her father to be dead—until she accidentally learned he was alive and well, living on Prince Edward Island. And when she spends the summer at his cottage on Lantern Hill, doing all the lovely things that Grandmother deemed unladylike, she discovers that life can be beautiful after all.
If only there could be a house like that in Toronto...a house where Mother, Father and Jane could all live together without Grandmother directing their lives...a house with a magic all its own...
