Footsteps in the Snow

This is the diary of Isobel Scott. On the way over from Scotland, Isobel's mother dies. The reason her family came over is that they could have a better life. Isobel thinks of Mansions and servants... she was definately wrong! She found a diary in her mother's trunk and decided to write it in her mother's memory and that's how this starts. Isobel has an older brother named James, and younger brother named Robbie. Isobel pretty much takes over the job of being their mother by washing, mending things, etc. and she doesn't play or have fun like a young ought to. Kate, a girl she met on the ship, will not stop bugging and pestering her. Later in the diary Isobel starts to feel sorry for her and finds out why she does that, well, the pestering. On their journey, the company meets a village of Native Americans and befriend eachother. That is when she finally gets to have some fun and compete in a few games, and actually laugh. She also finds that she doesn't care that much for being waited upon, or having grand parties, but is fine the way she is living now. She also befriends a young Indian woman named White Loon... I better not say anything else! I hope this was helpful... it probably wasn't, buy hey, it works!
