Now Grace is Molly's new daughter-in-law, just married to Sammy, who is off on the high seas. Grace presented herself in Lastenbury and the Goldbergs took her to their hearts with love and kindness. But Grace and George, a neighboring farmhand, are up to something... something having to do with a little money the Goldbergs have saved... money for Rosie's college education."
