The Belonging Place / Jean Little / 124 pages / Scotland

This is the "story of Elspet Mary Gordon, who was born Elspet Mary Iveson on January 2, 1832, in the city of Aberdeen, Scotland, and how she first became an orphan and then found a new family and travelled with them to a far country (Canada), where she found, at last, her heart's home, the place where she belonged."  Jean Little tells us in the Prelude that she probably would never have told this story if she hadn't fallen off the haywagon six years after the story ends.  She wrote it while incapacited.  This is a heart-warming story of family, mother's love, and new beginnings.
