Forget your modern childhood ideas – the challenges are high for children living in the 19th century. They have responsibilities – and freedoms – which seem extraordinary at that time of helicopter parenting. Mixtures with small pleasures and small differences with her older sister are real exploits of survival and bravery. She is attentive, tender, voluntary, hot. She resists the limits of the female behavior of the 19th century – she likes to run barefoot and feel the sun on her face. She is curious and optimistic and intrepid, like her father; Ingenious and hardworking and honest, like her mother. She quickly calls any cruel or unfair person. She loves fiercely and shamelessly and is completely devoted to her dog, Jack. She rubs some adults in the wrong direction – too many difficult questions, too much personality, too much energy – but for people who count, it is a lively light. She absorbs all the details she sees around her, collecting them for stories that she will one day share with the world.
