P. W. Fraser, Emmy, "A Little Girl in Old Salem" by Amanda M. Douglas is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in Salem, Massachusetts, and revolves around a young girl named Cynthia, who arrives from India to live with her guardian, Chilian Leverett, following the death of her father. The novel captures the cultural contrasts and personal adjustments that Cynthia faces while integrating into a new life in 19th-century America. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the Leverett household on a stormy morning in March, where Chilian receives letters, including news of his impending guardianship of his late cousin's daughter, Cynthia. As the family prepares for her arrival, we learn about Chilian's quiet, studious nature contrasted with the more traditional views of his cousins, Elizabeth and Eunice. When Cynthia finally arrives, she embodies the experiences and memories of her life in India, filled with vibrant imagery and cultural stories. Initially overwhelmed, she longs for her father but is also curious and eager to find her place in this new world, setting the stage for her personal journey of growth and adaptation amidst her new surroundings.
