Overview
For Daisy Gordon, 1869 is the best summer ever, regardless of the complexities of post–Civil War life in the Reconstruction Era. Every day on Savannah’s Isle of Hope, she can fish, crab, ride horses, and explore the marsh and river with her new friend Sammy Moore, who’s the most interesting person she’s ever met. But when her workaholic father learns Sammy lives at Bethesda Orphans Home, he forbids her from further adventures, making Daisy wonder: Does her father really object to their friendship, or is it that he can’t accept his unconventional, strong-willed daughter growing into a young woman? When a boating mishap leaves her and her siblings in danger—and Mr. Gordon and Sammy must team up to find them before the tide sweeps the tiny boat out to sea.
A fictional glimpse into the childhood and heart of Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low—the visionary optimist who challenged social norms in 1912 and forever changed what girls were “allowed” to do—is a story of adventure, friendship, self-discovery and an homage to the Girl Scouts founder’s legacy of female empowerment, which continues to inspire girls and women worldwide.
