Letitia Carberry, also known as Tish, is a middle-aged lady who has a passion for trying out new things. Aggie and Lizzie, her two friends, don't usually show much enthusiasm but let themselves be dragged along. Her young reporter nephew Charlie Sands attempts to guide her in less risky areas and is there for damage control when necessary. The book contains five chapters. This book contains five short short stories. The first book in the series is "Mind Over Motor, ". While Lizzie's mother is abroad, the three friends set out to escort a young relative of hers. Bettina's relationship with the boy next door is having trouble, and Tish meets a dashing young guy who wants to put together a motor race at the nearby fairgrounds. In the story "Like a Wolf on the Fold, " three friends are taken in by a young foreigner because of their bad luck. In "The Simple Lifers, " Tish takes her friends into the Maine woods barefoot so they may survive on nuts and berries. She is motivated by the back-to-nature movement. In "Tish's Spy, " Tish and her friends are camped out on a Canadian river with all the necessary tents, boats, and fishing gear. They are, however, shortly challenged by a young guy Tish believes to be a German spy as well as a red-headed investigator who is keeping an eye on the spy. The last story, "My Country Tish of Thee, " has Tish and her friends travelling to the west to ride horses in Glacier Park.
