When death came, a grief-stricken Charlotte accepted the mortician's request to comb her mother's hair for the burial and select the music for the service. Later, at the graveside, Charlotte felt the full impact of the future facing her: a seventeen-year-old's promise to take care of her siblings�Walter, age fifteen; Hubert, age eight; and Alberta, two and a half years of age. Will she be able to handle such a responsibility? She had turned seventeen only two days before. Did she have the courage, even the know-how, to face life as a surrogate mother to her brothers and sister?
She needed help. To whom could she turn?
Please Don't Call Me Charlotte is my mother's true and touching life story.
