This is the earliest photo I have of my grandmother, Anna. This photo is likely taken in east Texas, Waco or Mart, the small town where they lived in as teenagers.
Anna looks contented, perhaps in contrast to Ella who appears nervous. Looking at this photo now, I am surprised at the strong resemblance between my grandmother and my mother, June. Why have I not noticed this before?
Preparing once again to delve into this convoluted, troubled, and fascinating family, I feel somewhat removed, like I'm seeing everything for the first time.
