Chronicles of a Child

In Chronicles of a Child, we follow the life of a child named Bessie. We are allowed to see life through the eyes of a child. Sometimes she seems to be wise and somewhat mature for her age. Other times, she just wants to be loved by her mother and treated like a child. She gives us insight on how children experience and process life. Bessie helps us to understand that children take in everything--they take on the problems of the adults in their life. Sometimes they even take on the blame. Will Bessie overcome her guilt?
