Joy Rabideau

Joy Rabideau is a little french girl in the 1940's who was born with a phenomenal gift. The catch? She hates it. She considers this "gift" to be a curse. On top of that her mother totes her around like a show pony, forcing her to do shows for large crowds, and large sums of cash. In which she spends selfishly on herself. Take a read at this short story with a moral at the end, and perhaps you'll learn something.
