Misfortune Struck
The Wilson family’s bad luck hindered the poor girl from enjoying her delight as the couple planned their wedding. One evening, Dorothy’s mentally challenged brother Peter set fire to their home. Jack rushed in to save him, but they both perished in the fire and were left homeless.
Forced To Live In A Shack
Dorothy and her mother were made to move out of their house and into a dilapidated shanty. They bought it with the money from Jack’s sheep sale. At that moment, Dorothy learned she was expecting a kid. Unfortunately, by that time, her mother had already started displaying antagonistic behavior as a result of dementia.
