Our Nancy

"Our Nancy" is a short story of a girl from Philly.

She was born to two weavers during trying economic times.  A girl from the Roxborough section of Philadelphia who fell in love with baseball, ballet, and books.

The Stanislaw family experienced their own New Deal. Which was the birth of their baby daughter, Nancy - right smack in the middle of the Great Depression.

Born during these circumstances came with its challenges. Especially if nobody was paying attention to you.  And that is what "Our Nancy" had to do. She would navigate her own way in the world through her devotion to baseball, ballet, and books. An interesting assortment of love interests.

Nancy would fall in love with Joe DiMaggio, the Nutcracker, and literature.

She would be sent to New York City to begin a promising career as a ballerina.
