Wow! Very interesting story on the 9 year old but reading and listening to other interviews what an amazing photo journalist! Thanks for sharing that story.

Yeah, unfortunately, here life path was set at age 9. She should have shopped around for better parents.

Thanks, jerryc41. Heart-breaking. All she wanted was for someone to notice. And that's exactly what Marks caught in her photo.

Tobacco was still big business in NC 25 years ago. Have to wonder if she smoked to counter hunger pangs.

I was hoping that her future had been better than her childhood. At least she had a pool. :D
