Rose eagerly looks forward to the trip and seeing Syracuse (salt city), the Montezuma Swamp, Rochester (flour city), the famous locks at Lockport, and Niagara Falls, a new attraction.

Part way into the trip, Rose must handle some challenging occurrences that broaden her mind-set. Then she truly begins to comprehend how to conquer her fears just by choosing to do the fearful things whether she wants to or not.
