Panel 2: Ginny lived in a large, old house along the Susquehanna. The lawns were well cared for, the chairs fully stuffed and servants answered every need.


Panel 3: Her mother was widowed, heiress to a shipping fortune. Grand parties were held in their home where celebrated people gathered to discuss the arts.


Panel 4: On a balmy, moonlit night in May, the treasured custom-built Locomobile roadster broke an axel and hit a tree killing Genny’s mother. It was Ginny’s eleventh birthday.


Panel 5: The first editions, paintings and antique silver were sold and the cash converted into bonds with Ginny’s aunt in charge of the estate.


Panel 6: The adolescent years were the most difficult. Transferred from relative to relative, Ginny needed the stability and security only religion could provide.


Panel 7: At twenty-one, Ginny joined the war effort. Keeping the Ghetto fed was an impossible task. There were too many children and more to care for every day.


Panel 8: She returned to the States, sick with the futility of life, and adopted an orphaned Peruvian. The girl was a delight, and Ginny was finally at peace with herself.
