sorry if this is vague but it’s all i remember. i thought it was rebecca of sunnybrook farm (i’m currently reading it now) but so far it doesn’t seem to be.
i think the girl is young like 5-7 or so?
any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

this is probably a classic, it would take place in 1800s or maybe early 1900s

That's ok, I'm sure we can track it down for you!

What year did you read the book?

Did it definitely seem old, like it was written in the late 19th or early 20th century?

It might be on this list of classic girls' fiction pre-1950 - Forgotten Little Women
