ABSTRACT
Mr. and Mrs. N. and their five children had emigrated from Australia and settled in a desert community in the south of the country. Their daughter, 12-year-old Leah, was a dominant and domineering force in the family. Significantly overdeveloped physically and sexually for her age, she towered, Junoesque, over her diminutive mother. She looked like a woman in her twenties, and had so much the manner, as well as the appearance of maturity that it was difficult to relate to her as the child she was.
