A pregnant teenage girl once entered our bakery in tears, begging for bread, but my husband cruelly called her “trash” and said she shouldn’t have a child. I secretly fed her every day for three months and eventually gave her a key to our storage room so she could sleep safely when she had nowhere else to go.
