Synopsis

When I Was a Little Girl is a warm, memoir-style look at life on a southern plantation and the people who shaped a child’s world. This edition offers intimate scenes of home, family, and the everyday rituals that held a large household together.

The narrator recalls Penultima, a red-brick estate with long galleries and a bustling “quarters” community. Through memories of loving grandparents, a loyal Mammy, and a wide circle of relatives, the text sketches a world where work, faith, and storytelling mingle with charm and hardship. It balances affectionate nostalgia with clear, plain talk about plantation life, family ties, and the people who kept life moving.

- Follow afternoons by the great fireplace as a storyteller remembers childhood days.
- Meet Mammy, the house staff, and the bonds that shaped daily life and discipline.
- See how sewing, knitting, and making keepsakes tied generations together.
- Hear Grandma’s stories that connect long-ago events to the present moment.

Ideal for readers who enjoy family-centered history, memory-driven narratives, and vivid depictions of daily life in a historic American home.
