Darla's Dad taught her about electrical and mechanical items.  It is a good thing he did as a volcano eruption covered their farm with ash. He had died a few years earlier and it is only Darla and her Mom left at the farm.  Darla always preferred working on things rather than playing with dolls...What a handy girl she is - she built an inertia pump for the well plus a bicycle powered grinder for the corn.  This is not to say that the first few days were not without anguish for both of them.  Ash was everywhere and life in the root cellar was not easy.Lots of challenges going on for both of them.  Plus, an invited guest, Ruth, proves to be more than problematic.Highly recommended.
