" It’s called The Poor Little Rich Girl, a darling novel about a dear little girl, very rich but very ignored by her busy parents. I read it and I immediately thought of you, Mary—I kept seeing your face on every page. You’ll get to be an actual girl this time, not just a girlish woman—a real child who gets to skip and play, all the things you never got to do when you were young. "
