A Little Girl in a Big Hat Erlinda Jean

'A Little Girl in a Big Hat' is the real story of a young girl born into poverty and her struggle through life into womanhood. The author uses the hat as a metaphor for the different stages and experiences she went through in life, and as it applies to people's lives in general. From childhood through adolescence and into adulthood we all find ourselves wearing different hats. This is a fascinating story of the different hats worn by a young girl who had a very demanding, and at times, difficult life. She shares her experiences up to the present day and encourages the reader to reflect on the question, "Have you found your perfect hat, or are you still searching for it?"
