"For those unfamiliar with the beloved heroine, Samantha is one of the first three historical characters introduced by American Girl in 1986. Samantha, Swedish immigrant Kirsten and WWII homefront heroine Molly demonstrated courage, compassion and resilience. Along with an 18-inch doll, each 9-year-old character was featured in a series of easy chapter books; kids could follow each fictional story as well as the historical context surrounding it."
"Set in the 1920s, the new story features a 25-year-old Samantha, who just happens to be a proud suffragette. (Would you expect anything less?) She's living in New York City and educating women on the importance of voting in their first presidential election that fall. Samantha's life drastically changes, however, when her inheritance - and her drool-worthy childhood home in Mount Bedford - is stolen."
American Girl's Samantha Parkington returns as a 25-year-old suffragette in a new adult novel titled "Samantha: The Next Chapter." Set in 1920s New York City, Samantha educates women about voting in their first presidential election while confronting sudden poverty after her inheritance and Mount Bedford home are stolen. Stripped of wealth and status, she becomes a shop girl, navigates an unfamiliar city, searches for clues to recover her family's legacy, and even mingles with notorious criminals. Samantha was one of American Girl's first historical characters introduced in 1986 alongside Kirsten and Molly; the franchise has since grown to over 50 characters.
