Behind in the mortgage on Sunnybrook Farm and barely managing to feed seven hungry mouths, mother sends young Rebecca off to Riverboro to be raised by her wealthy Aunt Miranda. The littIe girl is treated like a prisoner by her strict Aunt, yet she gamely does her best to get an education. When spoiIed girls at school mock the spirited Rebecca as "missy poor-house," she soon makes them come to eat their words. Despite many difficuIties, Rebecca manages to heIp the less fortunate and spread joy in Riverboro, dreaming that her reward wiII come when she is "alI growed up."
