| Summary | "A Little Girl in Old Boston" by Amanda M. Douglas is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. This story follows the life of a young girl named Doris, who travels from England to Boston in the New World after the death of her father. As she settles into her new home, the narrative explores the dynamics of family, friendship, and the cultural contrasts between her old and new lives. At the start of the novel, Doris arrives in Boston and is introduced to her new guardians, the Leverett family. The opening chapter provides a rich depiction of the social norms and concerns of the time, particularly through the eyes of Aunt Priscilla, who displays a mix of skepticism and curiosity about the young girl. The gentle interactions among family members reveal the warmth and affection in the Leverett household, contrasting with Doris's earlier experiences in England, including her time spent in a convent. The story hints at themes of belonging, adaptation, and the poignant journey of a little girl navigating a new world filled with unfamiliar customs and a chance for a loving family.
