86: A Poet Who Knows It: Cécile's Gift

It is still 1853. Marie-Grace and Cécile have spent the better part of a year weathering an epidemic and taking care of younger kids at local orphanages. Will the sun ever come out for these two? Just before we are about to say goodbye, we experience a fun-filled and successful fundraiser planned for the orphans of New Orleans. By using her (poetic) voice, Cécile demonstrates that sometimes the greatest gift you can give is a bit of yourself (or a check). We talk about Cécile's journey in the context of respectability politics, and what her future might hold. We also offer a final assessment of the split narrative approach used for Marie-Grace and Cécile.
