Winnie had been born after her father’s death.
He was killed in an accident while her mother was still pregnant.
At the time, her maternal grandparents urged her mother to terminate the pregnancy, leave the Francoeur family, and remarry.
But her parents had deeply loved each other.
Her father had also been an only child.
Without needing any persuasion from Old Mr. Francoeur, her mother insisted on giving birth to her late husband’s only bloodline.
She desperately hoped the baby would be a boy.
