This story is a compilation of real-life events and facts interwoven with fictional events and facts from the creative mind of the author. It delivers a sometimes humorous view of the everyday life of a young girl striving to grow up to become a lady and a better person, and it, at other times, portrays what could be real life for some when people of different ways of life come into contact. In the end, it shows what impact comes from her interaction and gesture of kindness to one unlikely boy. All this is set in an idyllic days-gone-by time of a picturesque tiny Central Florida town surrounded by lakes and orange groves.
