Silvia Rannamaa noorsoojutustus ”Kasuema” on järg jutustusele ”Kadri”. Seegi raamat, nagu ka ”Kadri”, on kirjutatud päeviku vormis. Teos käsitleb Kadri käekäiku ja kujunemist internaatkoolis. Kirjanik suhtub oma peategelasesse mõistvalt ning sooja südamlikkusega, avades tõepäraselt ja ilustamata tütarlapse mõtte- ja tundemaailma. Kadri satub silmitsi elus esinevate probleemide ja vastuoludega, kuid ta suudab oma tõdedele ja tõekspidamistele toetudes iseendaks jääda.
