__**Summary**__ This is the story of Catherine, called Little Bird or Birdy, of the Manor of Stonebridge in the shire of Lincoln in England, who is the daughter of Lord Rollo and the lady Aislinn. Catherine always dreamt of an exciting life like her brothers at the monastery and in the Crusades. However, she is stuck on the manor spinning and writing and learning to be a lady all day long. Since she is older than fourteen, her father seeks to sell her off to be married for a profit, but Catherine will do anything to make sure that she marries someone whom she love. During everyday life on a medieval English manor, Catherine must write of her arguably boring life. This is her account of all the happenings in her fourteenth year of life.

This book is intelligently told in diary format from the eyes of Catherine. It gives a rather clear idea of what life was like as a teenage girl in the medieval ages.
