Editing Holly Gardner (section)

==Family Background:==

Holly's mother was young and a runaway.  Devoid of any place to go, she wandered without a focus.  Hungry and alone, she stumbled upon a field of strawberries one late spring.  The Gardners found her and, rather than contact the authorities, they took Holly's mother in.  For room and board, she worked around the house so that they could focus on their new commercial greenhouse.  Sadly, Holly's mother died during childbirth.  She never spoke of Holly's father and, in her will, left Holly's care to the Gardners.  Born on Christmas Day, Holly's name was appropriate if not somewhat humorous when paired up with her last name.  The Gardners had no children of their own.  Holly's best friends are the twins that grew up on the farm next to her family.
