Dolly is Willie’s youngest sister. She’s born when Willie is 11 years old, and their mother dies giving birth to her. As a result, Dolly grows up without a mother, but she receives loving attention from her father, Willie, and two older sisters. Dolly is sweet, affectionate, and innocent. She adores Willie and misses him while he’s away from home. As an adult, Dolly immigrates to America, taking some of Willie’s possessions with her as keepsakes.
