A life with and without choice.

Jo never really understood what was happening. They flowed through life with the adults leading them through each day. They played with friends and enjoyed the laughter, yet there was confusion about their place in the wider story.
This was partly due to the frequent illness that would strike them down and leave them off School and in hospital. Although for them this was normal so they took it in their stride. The separation and expectations from others just confused them.
This is the story of Jo and how they develop and grow.

The hospital side will be covered lightly, this isn't the key part of the story, but obviously is an impact on Jo. There will be some detail, but from a child's perspective. I will try to mention if things might be hard for some readers.

This is a story from many years ago, so some methods and approaches may seem dated to the modern eye. This is deliberate. The approach, understanding and acceptance is so different from today.
