Her natural parents essentially sell her into slavery as a small child and then die before they can come back. Their sole legacy is a small half of a locket and her last name. She probably doesn't even know where she was born.
13. I never thought of her being sold into slavery, just that they couldn't
afford to keep her and thought she would be better off at the orphanage than starving with them. I suspect that happened more than once in real life and not just during the Great depression. :(
The conditions in the orphanage were appalling. And we really don't know why the parents sent her there, maybe they were just working out their opium addictions. But there's poor little Annie, always trusting they loved her and would come to get her any day...
