An original short story turned into a longer story. Sue Ellen Johnson is the 2nd oldest of 5 children. Her dad is gone the moment the Great Depression starts, finally succumbing to his unknown sickness. Her older brother, Johnny, died a long time ago. It's up to Sue to provide for her family. While sending money to help, she writes letters and occasionally keeps a diary entry. A/N: slooowww updates, please bear with me! Thanks everyone for reading :) <3
