For the past four years, Emily and her parents have lived in a wing of the manor, looking after the Briars property and the elderly Miss Bessie Sibbald, who was like a grandmother to Emily, and who has recently passed away. In the wake of her death, Emily's world feels a little less sunny. Nonetheless, she looks forward to summer, as always, when she gets to spend time with her friends, Jewish cottagers Rachel and Benjamin, and Jimmy from the nearby Chippewa reserve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is the year 1919-an unsettled time in Canada, post-war, the Spanish flu pandemic just starting to ease-and with change in the air, Emily's plans for a fun summer quickly begin to unravel. The government places more impositions on the Chippewas, directly affecting Jimmy and his family. Antisemitic activity has followed Rachel and Benjamin from Toronto. Then Emily discovers that her family's future at the Briars is at risk. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmidst concerns over her changing world and body, Emily starts to negotiate a different kind of summer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd those spirits who've been taking her dreamwalking-are they helping, or not?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Briars Between is the first Emily Twillum Adventures novel.
