    Welcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker.

    Poor Fanny feels as if she doesn’t have a thing to wear! She can’t afford any new ball gowns, and the ones she saved after the family lost their fortune all seem old, outdated, and shabby. But Polly has the knack of making even an old dress look new and fresh, so Fanny feels a bit of hope that she might be able to look all right after all. Fanny isn’t the only one who needs Polly’s help, and even Tom wants a bit of her grandmotherly advice.

    Welcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker.

    Polly is a young woman of integrity. As such, she knows she can’t follow the modern trend of stringing young men along to flirt and make them fall in love with her, especially when she knows she can’t return the sentiment. So she does a very hard thing, and is then more ready to offer comfort and love to the entire Shaw family when they need it the most.
