Such a sad start in life, but not unusual at that time. <BR/><BR/>My mother describes it so poignantly I think, and she's always been an excellent writer and story teller. All her attempts at publishing (her adult life, and now she's 92), have been frustrating, until I published one of her children's books on lulu.com.<BR/><BR/>Odd that she has never liked reading fiction.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874162149979602139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13524464.post-8024806161591976912007-12-26T15:07:00.000-07:002007-12-26T15:07:00.000-07:00That's a sweet story.
