Beschreibung
Many circumstances had combined to shape the direction of Sadies life. From the early death of her father, to the social customs of the period, many avenues were blocked to a young female, but an intelligent, inventive lady of any age could find her way around many of them. For a time, Sadie allowed herself to be pushed into place to fill an existing vacancy. The pushing was gently and lovingly done, but she was pushed, nevertheless, and the pushing seemed acceptable. Her life moved along for decades in much the same way, and then came the time that her eyes were opened and she was determined to be pushed no longer. From here on, for the rest of her life, she would set the direction her mind and feet would take.
