Content with her trusted girlfriends, Donna knew that no one had a better life.
  • Then came Betty, tiny and adorable, sent from Poland by Adam's brother, whose family was so destitute that its one doll had to be divided among six sisters. Bringing with her nothing more than her toy rubber leg and a loving demeanor that would make Shirley Temple look like a shrew, Betty joined the family...and a new chapter began for the Milewskis.
