Michael Ross asked Michelle Cox:

Enjoyed your Child Lost, and your posts about real people of Chicago. What was the original inspiration for Henrietta?

Michelle Cox Hi, Michael!!! Thanks so much for reading A Child Lost and my blog!! I'm thrilled. Interesting that you should mention the two of these in the same sentence and likewise to ask about my inspiration for Henrietta! They are very closely connected, as you might have guessed.

The character of Henrietta is very much based on a woman I met while working at the Bohemian Home for the Aged in the early 1990's.

Here is her original story from the blog, though I changed her name. Hope you enjoy finding similarities! And thanks for asking!
