As this novel for ages 8 to 12 opens in 1876, Florence “Floy” Hutchings — bold daughter of a famous father — is stuck in a stuffy classroom in crowded San Francisco, longing to return to the majestic place where she was born and where she has always felt free: Yosemite!

Steeped in the rich atmosphere of old Yosemite and based on real people and true events. Call Me Floy is about a girl who struggles against the expectations of her times and follows her dream up the steepest path imaginable.
