From Happiness to Sadness

Ann, the first child of a family of five, parents died. They left her to take care of a younger sister and brother. They were left alone to deal with the sadness and struggles of life. Then, an uncle and aunt promising to protect and take care of them, moved into their parents’ home. Their daughter Kate, who they treated extra special, lived in the home with them. Also, Uncle Sam, Aunt Zoe, daughter Kate, and nieces Ann, and Nancy, and nephew Patrick, all lived in their dead parent's home. Ann's parents had a lovely home, one of the largest in the city.

Although Ann was unhappy with the treatment, she did her chores with joy, singing songs she learned at church. However, Ann, Nancy, and her brother Patrick were not allowed to eat meals at the table.
