Summary "A Little Girl in Old Detroit" by Amanda M. Douglas is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the late 18th century and follows the life of a young girl named Jeanne Angelot, who was mysteriously abandoned and raised by an Indian woman after her mother was declared dead. The novel explores themes of identity, belonging, and the cultural exchanges between the French and English settlers and the Indigenous peoples during a time of significant change and upheaval in Detroit. At the start of the novel, Jeanne is introduced as a spirited and curious girl who, having been separated from her past, is eager to learn about her origins. The opening chapters present her interactions with her guardian, Pani, and her playmate, Louis Marsac, as they navigate the complexities of their lives in a town marked by cultural shifts and the aftermath of the American Revolution. The narrative establishes Jeanne's vibrant personality and her yearning for adventure, all while hinting at the mysteries surrounding her true heritage, making readers eager to follow her journey of discovery as the story unfolds.
