A Dear Woman

Book excerpt: Onna knew that her family was unable to send her to college, but actually she wanted to be a secretary, so she didn’t mind. She was thrilled when her Aunt Ivy called her. “Onna, you should come to Kadova and try to enroll in this city’s clerical program. I was told that it was free for high school graduates, and the next semester starts in two weeks.” “Oh that’s great, Aunt Ivy. I have enough money to travel by bus, not much more. I hope I can get a part-time job to support myself.” “You don’t need to worry about that now, just come. One day when Jeff and I are old, we might need some help. Right now, we can help you.”
