TW: Rape http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45849051/ns/us_news-life/#.TwNNoTXOztk

The story is more about the renunion but the description of her pregnancy really got me.

“On a summer day in 1928 while picnicking with girls from a sewing class, Disbrow and her friend Elizabeth were jumped by three men as they went for a walk in their long dresses.

Both were raped. “We didn’t know what to do. We didn’t know what to say. So when we went back, nothing was said,” Disbrow recalled.

Months passed. Her body began to change.

Disbrow, who had been told babies were brought by storks, didn’t know what was happening.”
