While other children her age had parents that were struggling at jobs, Anna had the luxury of coming home to peace and quiet. Her parents were able to provide her with a safe home. When she would come from school, she was able to enjoy the fruits of her parents’ labor. They did not argue much because their financial concerns were well taken care of. All they really had to worry about was raising their daughter to become someone important and respected.
