Summary "A Little Girl in Old San Francisco" by Amanda M. Douglas is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young girl named Laverne, who embarks on a long journey from Maine to California with her mother and Uncle Jason in search of a better life during the Gold Rush era. The narrative captures Laverne's experiences as she navigates the challenges of her new environment and the deep changes in her family dynamics. The beginning of the story introduces Laverne as she recalls her memories of her earlier life while onboard a ship headed to California. As they sail, she becomes close to Uncle Jason, who offers her comfort and companionship amidst the uncertainty of their journey. After experiencing the loss of her mother, Laverne is taken under Jason's care, who pledges to look after her and create a happier future for her. The setting shifts to San Francisco, where Laverne is enthralled by the bustling city and its diversity, and the narrative establishes her longing for connection and belonging in a new world filled with possibilities and trials.
