Sophie had been her father’s constant companion until her brother was born.
She was no longer welcome in the family grocery store
that she had assumed would be hers to inherit
as her father had when he was a young man.
Her father now boasted that he finally had a son who would take over the business.
At twelve years old,
Sophie learned the hard lesson that her father
never considered that she could be an eventual equal.
