Goddard Living
Again, Norma stayed with the Goddards for a very short period due to Doc molesting her. She instead moved in with Grace's aunt, Ana Lower, who enrolled her in high school. Though Norma was an okay student, she excelled in writing and enjoyed working for the school newspaper.
Across State Lines
in 1942, Doc Goddard was relocated to West Virginia. Due to child protection laws in California at the time, the Goddards were not legally permitted to remove Norma from the state. She either had to return to the orphanage or find another way to stay in the state, so she figured out a solution. She got married at age 16 to her 21-year-old neighbor.
