In "Calico Bush" by Rachel Field, the story follows a young French girl named Marguerite who arrives in the New World in the 18th century with her family. Orphaned when her parents perish at sea, she becomes a servant to a family of settlers in Maine. Marguerite, fondly nicknamed "Margie," faces the challenges of frontier life while striving for a sense of belonging and identity. As she navigates harsh weather, her burgeoning feelings for a nearby settler, and her connection to Native American culture, Margie learns resilience and discovers the beauty of nature and community.
