This is the story of a young child, Anna, and the many hardships that she, along with her brother and sister, who were twins, were to face while growing up in down east Maine. No child should have to grow up without the love of a mother, but at the young age of three, Anna was to suddenly, without understanding, find herself without her mommy. Even at three, she knew something bad had happened, and no one would tell her where her mommy was. As she cried for her mommy, she clung tightly to her little rubber dolly. Although Anna went through a great many hardships and trials along with the rest of the family, she never lost her spirit or her spunk. This made all the difference to the whole family as they endured the cold and hungry times with less-than-suitable or adequate clothing with an angry and many-times abusive father. This is a story that everyone, young or old, should read as it clearly shows that there is always someone worse off than yourself and that even in the darkest of times, light will always follow.
