Befriending Barbie

I would have never thought that there was a convention for Barbie but now we have conventions for everything imaginable. Throughout the story, the author describes people she meets at the convention. One person she met was Judy from Forth Worth, Texas. The people she met online in a chat group helped her through her tragedy. It was amazing that a childhood toy could connect people and make friendships. This story helped realize that our perspective can be affected by our prejudices.
