The story of a little girl's journey to a new land. The story of Isobel, the story of immigrants, the story of America.
Billy's family is moving, and he wants nothing to do with it. He loves his home, his friends, and most of all, the stories his Papa shares. Soon, miles will separate them, but Papa offers a comforting promise: I'll always have a story for ye.
To help Billy face the unknown, Papa tells the remarkable story of Isobel MacDougald, a young Scottish girl whose family left everything they knew in 1739 to journey across the Atlantic to North Carolina. Like thousands of Scottish immigrants, they traded the familiarity of home for the uncertainty of a new world, driven by hope for a brighter future.
Blending a modern family's experience with a true chapter of Scottish history, Isobel's New World reminds readers that change can be difficult, courage is often found one step at a time, and home is more than a place-it's the people we love. As long as family stays together, every new beginning holds the promise of a new adventure.
