The Haunting of Josephine
“Like so many girls her age who were born poor her family was sending her off to stay with relatives. Not just any relatives, Jo’s Aunt Katherine and Uncle Joseph Cline where rich and had never had children of their own. So out of the kindness of their heart they were taking Jo in with plans to treat her as if she was their own daughter with big plans to introduce her into ‘good’ society.
Good society my toe. They are shipping me off to Aunt and Uncle’s to see if they can marry me off. Is th...at not what everyone does? I know what Mama was thinking ‘we’ll never marry her off with men knowing she is poor. Why do we not just send her to live with the rich relatives so that any would be suitors do not know where she comes from until tis too late’.
