Tracy Lees, Age Before Beauty (People)

My 84 year old mother holding a photo of herself at 19. At 20, she became a mother, endured domestic violence and mental illness. Now she is old, her decisions are her own and she has regained control. I am trying to illustrate that Age bursts through beauty and youth, and is the greater gift.
