Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Your Little Brother James
Here is nothing so hard to kill as a baby that nobody wants. If some one had loved your little brother - whose name was J ames perchance he would have turned his face to the wall and died; but being unloved and fatherless and a burden to his mother, who longed to be rid of him, he lived on, in spite of cold, hunger, whooping cough, measles, marasmus, and long continued and heartless neglect - for it seems sometimes as if nature hates to make a little grave unless she knows that it is to be kept green with tears.
