She receives a phone call from Victoria, British Columbia from a Mrs. Corinthea Arles who says that a little girl whose parents claim she is Mrs. Arles’ granddaughter, bears a resemblance to a picture of Debbie. Jenny goes to see, and that is the plot. Jenny’s parents are deaf and she works with hearing impaired children, and that is good side story. Also the show more descriptions of Victoria and the information about native totems were fascinating. show less
