"A Little Girl in Old New York" by Amanda M. Douglas is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young girl named Hannah Ann Underhill, who is navigating her childhood while transitioning from the rural life of Yonkers to the bustling environment of New York City. The narrative captures themes of innocence, family dynamics, and the challenges of adapting to a new social landscape in a rapidly changing world. At the start of the book, we meet Hannah Ann and her father as they discuss the prospect of moving to New York City. Hannah, a small and delicate seven-year-old, has fond memories of a previous visit to the city, which she describes with childlike wonder. As she engages in her patchwork sewing, her thoughts drift to her family's potential relocation and all the new experiences that may come with it. The chapter introduces key family members, including her parents and siblings, and sets the stage for her journey as she begins to grapple with her identity and place in a new city, further emphasizing the contrast between her innocent rural life and the complexities of urban society.
