Helena

play

12/30/19 • 20 min

Attitudes have changed about a lot of things over the lifetime of the Baby Boom Generation.

But society must have forgotten to tell Helena because she had a very different take on what makes a family perfect. And, Helena she had no qualms about making her feelings known as the proud, only daughter of the equally as proud parents who adopted her.
