Weeks passed, and Joan’s thirteenth birthday soon came. Nora and Frank’s grumpy little girl had grown into a headstrong young lady eager to learn as much as she could about the world.
Though she was still as introverted as ever, she and her best friend Doreen were still very close. The two girls often spent their afternoons walking along the beach together and talking about whatever was on their minds.
As they grew older, however, the two girls’ interests began to differ. Joan grew increasingly curious about the changing world around her, and began to think more about her own future. Doreen, meanwhile, remained as carefree as ever; it was as though nothing ever bothered her.
“Do you ever read the newspaper, Doreen?” asked Joan one day. “I read that bad things are happening in America these days. Lots of people are losing their jobs over there. I hope that doesn’t happen here as well.”
Despite Joan’s concerned expression, Doreen simply laughed. “Oh, you worry too much, Joanie!” she said. “That won’t happen over here. And besides, we don’t need to worry about work. When we grow up and get married, our husbands will earn all the money for us!”
But Joan wasn’t so sure. Everyone always told her not to worry, and that everything would be perfectly fine - but she wasn’t convinced. The world was changing, and things these days were not the same as they were when her parents were younger.
Unlike her friend, she knew that she wouldn’t always be able to depend on other people; she would have to find her own way in life instead.
