The Doll : Will the doll let Meg live?

The  Doll

"Meg lay there, her eyes closed. She was aware of the doll. Without opening her eyes or turning her head, Meg could feel the staring eyes. She suddenly felt drowsy after all."

This is the first of many journeys that Meg and the doll will make into the past where she becomes Morag and is welcomed into the heart of a warm and loving pioneeer family heading across the prairies to Fort Carlton.

In the present Meg is sick with rheumatic fever and is also suffering the emotional strain of her parents' separation. The past, experienced through the magic of the doll, is much more appealing. But Meg soon finds out that pioneer life is full of unexpected dangers and it is not until she looks through the old family album that she finally learns the truth about " Angel Morag."
