arrives in Wintergreen City, USA, strange, funny, and wonderful things begin to happen.

But then, they discover her infectious zest for life, her joy, her wisdom and kindness, and they realize their everyday lives will never be the same again.

Every encounter with Savta Simcha becomes a source of delight, whether it involves a leaky roof, a nutmeg tree, a matter of stolen mushrooms, or the loss of her enormous black bag.
