Emily Starr is an imaginative young girl who has lived an isolated life with her father in the country. She has the Sight, as she calls it, which allows her to see into the past and the future. When her father dies, she is sent to live with her stern Aunt Elizabeth Murray and her kind but timid Aunt Laura at New Moon Farm. Her Cousin Jimmy is also there, a wise gentleman who people persist in saying is "off." EMILY promises her father she will hang on hard to herself, and is opposed in this by Aunt Elizabeth, who "is determined to make her like every other child in Blair Water." The two battle it out, and Emily uses the Sight to tell her Aunt Elizabeth she was not to blame for Jimmy's accident. When Emily falls gravely ill, Emily and Elizabeth come to an understanding and Emily realizes hanging on to herself means she can be Emily of the Hollows and Emily of New Moon Farm—and a hundred other places as well.
