Being the world’s smallest premature baby at that time, Geri Jewell began her life with trauma. She started life at three pounds and then dropped to two. She was isolated and no one was allowed to touch her, so she had no physical attention for the first 3 months of life. Geri was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Her first stage appearance was as a baby where she was used at a medical convention for doctors to observe. Geri is upset that she cannot attend a “normal” school and is continuously bullied and abused by school children and kids and parents in the neighborhood. Her younger sister Gloria is her saving grace, and when they play together Gloria puts popsicle sticks on Barbie Dolls so that Geri feels normal with her leg braces.
