InscribedOn image recto, bottom, in silver pen: ""That was my favorite dress - it was the only dress I had. It was not a happy childhood because of all the / partying and fighting when dad was with Terry. That's where I learned to pretend. It was so chaotic / and that if anyone was around I'd smile. I'd say everything was perfect when it wasn't. Terry / would beat me if I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night - she'd beat me if I wet the bed.""; On sheet verso, bottom, in pencil: ""Jamie Hamm, Pigeon Hill, 1988/2013" 3/8 ©2013".
