Whenever Mary Ellen need Betty Doll, she was there. Through the fierce Michigan thunderstorms and the snowy blizzards. Through parties, weddings, and the deaths of old friends.
Now, when Mary Ellen's daughter Trisha needs Betty Doll most, she opens a package and rediscovers the sweet old doll, along with a letter written by her mother right before she died. In it, her mother tells the story of Betty Doll. From the day she first sewed Betty Doll together stitch by stitch, to the day many years later when she discovered she had cancer and cried with Betty Doll in her arms, Mary Ellen captures the climatic moments of her life and shares them with her daughter one last time.
Now with soft, beautiful artwork, Patricia Polacco share these moments with the world as she tells a story that is close to her heart-of the doll who ties her to her mother's love, even after she is gone.
