From book one - "Go ahead and beat me-beat me all you want. You never loved me or wanted me anyway. All you took me for was so you'd get the money that came with me... 'Dear, precious' Aunt Hetty told me that a long time ago. So-now you know that I know!" Dee Dee Barker's parents had died during the influenza epidemic. The relatives had sold the family ranch and divided the children among the aunts and uncles. Four-year-old Dee Dee went from Kansas to a plantation near the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Separated from her sisters and brother, a Yankee in the deepest South, rejected by neighbors and even relatives, the girl struggled to find love and family. Based on a true story.
