Medium Impression by Michelle Wire

Although I normally avoid reading dolls, Im so glad that I got the opportunity to do this one. That’s because this feels less like a doll and more like a sacred relic.

If I had to pick one word to describe this doll, it would be HOPE.

Tragically, Helen and her sister were treated horrendously and were enslaved. Over years of cruelty, confusion and heartbreak, the two sisters managed to stay together. The younger sister was shown kindness by their enslavers daughter and given this doll in secret. They stayed friends until they were found out, and this doll was the one reminder of the humanity one person bestowed.

At that moment, this doll became so dear to that young girl that she was rarely without it, except in times of peril. During those moments, it was often hidden in floorboards and straw bedding so that it wouldn’t be ripped away from her.

When she passed away, her older sister (Helen) took It and never let it be found. It was a reminder of both that humanity and of her cherished little sister.

Year after year, change after change, the doll remained with her until her own death.

Now it is sweet and quiet (but not silent) and looking for a home in which it will be honored and cherished. These two girls deserve that in this life.

Given its near sacred status and history, and their desire to reveal themselves to a family or couple, we would ask that this be purchased for display and inclusion in a home, not slipped into a dark drawer or forgotten room.

These girls remain with love in their hearts, waiting to be seen.
