What luck! A study in opposites

"What luck! A study in opposites" by Abbie Farwell Brown is a tale from long ago about two young children, Stephanie and Paolo, whose paths cross at a hospital because of their eye problems. It's a story about love, neglect, and how differently kids are taken care of based on their families. Stephanie, a girl whose mom doesn't pay her much attention, finds the care she's always wanted at the hospital. Paolo, on the other hand, suffers because his mom loves him so much that she can't let him get the help he needs. The book shows how much parents' actions affect their children's lives. In the end, it gives us hope, as Stephanie goes back to a better life, hinting that things can get better no matter how bad they seem.
