Bonnie Parker
Sadly, Bonnie’s dad died when she was just four years old, leaving her mother to raise three children on her own. Her mom worked hard as a seamstress, and despite not having a father, she tried giving Bonnie a good life. Bonnie was a smart kid. She won spelling Bees, got good grades in school, and she was a talented writer. Nothing was indicating that she would grow up to be a criminal.

During her second year of high school, Bonnie met a boy named Roy Thornton. She married him just before turning 16. Sadly, he was never around and was involved in illegal activity. After more brushes with the law, Bonnie couldn’t handle it anymore. She moved back in with her mother and started working at a café.
