Santa Finds Foul Mouthed Little Girl From Baltimore.
Santa finds her visiting a family in a cement block house snuggled up against the outskirts of the 'Francis Marion National Forest' north of Charleston South Carolina and South of Georgetown South Carolina; Buck Hall to be exact.
Don and his wife bring her to this Christmas gathering in this remote location. She is six years old. She is a waif, a will-o-the-wisp traveling through a society that cares little for waifs. She has brought with her a raggedy old stuffed doll.
Tricia asks the little girl what Santa is going to bring her for a Christmas present. The little girl says "Santa never find me in Baltimore he damned sure ain't gonna find me here."
Christmas morning comes and the little girl is showered with gifts from Santa. She is a very happy little girl. The time comes for her to return to Baltimore. As the little girl is leaving Tricia reminds her that she has forgotten her raggedy doll. The little girl replies; "I don't need that piece a shit old doll Santa done bring me a new one."
From 'Voyages of the Vicky Mary' My book.

is your book available? I'd like to read it.
Funny, but not so funny if you've ever been truly poor. I get a sense of optimism though--this little girl is movin on...
Love the title.
