A Little Maid of Province Town

"A Little Maid of Province Town" by Alice Turner Curtis is a story that drops you into the life of Anne Nelson, an eight-year-old orphan, who lives in a small coastal settlement during the lead-up to the American Revolution. We meet Anne as she’s trying to find her place after her father dies at sea, finding kindness with Mistress Stoddard, but also dealing with kids who call her names because of her dad. It’s a time of big changes and growing tensions as Anne learns to be brave, builds new relationships, and figures out who she is while facing loneliness and the scary possibility of war.
