Summary

It’s time to meet not one, but two (new to us) American Girls! With this episode, we are launching into the Cécile & Marie Grace books. We start by meeting Marie Grace early in the year 1853. She is a bright and reserved girl who recently moved from Massachusetts down to New Orleans. Although Marie Grace is struggling to adapt to life with Dr. Dad, on the bright side, she has a cool uncle and a great singing voice. Marie Grace shows us that it can be hard to make friends in the Big Easy, but she is not lonely for long. We explore the culture of New Orleans in Marie Grace’s time (1853) and the “trading places” party moment that wraps up the book.
