In 1919, at age 21/2, Janet Hitchman heard the person she called Gran say sharply, "She's no relative of mine. None whatever". And that was how she discovered that orphans were fed and clothed but did not belong to anyone.A plain, difficult little girl who failed to win the affection of her caretakers and, as she was bundled from one foster home to another, increasingly aware of her role as the problem girl whom no one wanted, she became more resentful of giving or taking love. A moving and honest autobiography.
