Edna Henry Lee Turpin was an American author. She was born on July 26, 1867, at Echo Hill, Mecklenburg County, Virginia. She was the daughter of Edward Henry Turpin and Petronella Lee Turpin, but her father died of tuberculosis four months before she was born.

It's about a little girl searching for a home accompanied by her doll, the title character. It reminds me somewhat of A Little Princess, in the bond the little girl forms with her doll. A very enjoyable chidren's book.
