The Belonging Place by Jean Little

It seems young Elspet Mary has known nothing but loss. First her mother died, then her father, leaving her in the care if her Aunt Ailsa  and Uncle Will Gordon. With them, she has moved from one lonely Scottish village to another, and now, just as she is beginning to feel at home, she is being torn away again, to move to rugged Upper Canada. What awaits her in the strange new land?  The voyage across the ocean is frightening enough, but what waits Elspet Mary in a strange new land? What will become of her grandmother, left behind in Scotland, and her beloved cat? Will she finally find a place to call home, a place where she belongs? Told in Jean Little's inimitable voice, this moving coming-of-age story explores loss, loneliness and love-and the universal search for a place to belong.
It’s sure to tug at your heartstrings. ~ Cathy
