Sure, it's unusual to have an eighteen-year-old mother when you're twelve. But when you're an orphan and she's your aunt-- and the only mother you've ever had-- well, as i explained, it had worked out real well.

     That's why i got so riled up when grandpa and Uncle Cater talkin' about findin' a fella for Aunt Lizabeth!

     You see, somethin' had to be done! I couldn't just sit back and watch our family get broken up. But with grandpa and Uncle Carter workin' so hard to get Aunt Lizabeth married off, I really had my job cut out for me.

     Then, when that poor preacher came along, it really got complicated....

     But, anyway, it's all here in the story. It'll  make you laugh sometimes, but I don't mind. And sometimes you might even cry a little. But I think you'll understand why I did what I did-- chances are, you know too what it means to be scared and lonely and worried about changes.

                                                          AND MAYBE YOU'LL FIND OUT WHAT
                                                        I FOUND OUT-- ABOUT THE BEST KIND
                                                                          OF FAMILY, I MEAN.All Rights Reserved
