A Letter From a Family Member Came in the Mail
When Berniece was nineteen, shortly after she married her husband Paris Miracle, her father came to her door with a letter. According to Berniece, “He said, “I don’t know if I ought to give you this or not. At first I thought I would never show it to you. Your stepmother and I talked about it. We decided it’s your letter.“ The envelope he handed me was already open.” And it was from this letter that Berniece first learned that she had a younger sister named Norma Jeane.
