Description:

Thirteen-year-old Marguerite Ledoux, a recently orphaned French girl, travels to the wild Maine coast in 1743 as an indentured servant, treated as an outsider by the family she works for. Facing a harsh new life far from everything familiar, Marguerite discovers her own quiet strength and courage as she adapts to the rugged land and the hardships of pioneer life. Through the changing seasons, she slowly finds a place for herself and her own sense of belonging. A moving, beautifully told story of resilience and finding home in unexpected places.
