Anna Lee Manning

I'll be over in a little while.

Those became the last words Anna Lee Manning ever spoke to the woman that had raised her.

A promise that was never kept.

A secret that was never shared.

We don't know exactly how they met or what Anna saw in him in the beginning.

We rarely do.

What we know is that in 1985, when Anna Lee Manning was just 16 years old, she married him.

Just 16.
