About This Book

A young woman persistently judged for her plain appearance recounts her struggle for affection and self-respect within a family that adores a more attractive sister. Hoping a new stepmother will offer the sympathy she lacks, she endures daily snubs, social anxiety, and private humiliation while seeking small acts of kindness and moments of agency. The episodic narrative examines how appearance shapes relationships, the sting of exclusion, and the quiet resilience that grows from repeated disappointment.

that ends well; all who have Coughs, Colds and Throat Troubles are made well by

Scott’s
Emulsion

of Cod-liver Oil, with hypophosphites of lime and Soda. When lungs are affected Scott’s Emulsion, if taken in time, prevents consumption. Physicians, the world over, endorse it.

The consumption germ takes root and grows when the body is weak and emaciated. The germ passes off when the body is strong.
