My Great,Great,Great Aunt Grace,born in the 1800's and lived a VERY LONG Intrestring life. I knew her well, The doll came to MO from Kentucky in a covered wagon with her as a babe. It is now over 125 years old. Her Ivory vanity set given to her by her only love, who she was never allowed to marry because her father felt he wasn't good enough. Until on his death bed he confessed to her that he should've let them marry. By that time (Jim) her love was very sick and passed away soon after. Her last wish was to be laid to rest beside Jim. A Love Story unfinished in life, completed in death.

I like the tone and the grit but I dont' like the composition....too much empty wall. The doll is inexplicably dirty too, while the other stuff is very clean, so the story is a bit confused.
